Abstract

As the use of XML as a technology for data exchange has widely spread, the need of a new technology to store semi-structured data in a more efficient way has been emphasized. Consequently, XML DBs have been created in order to store a great amount of XML documents. However, like in previous data models as the relational model, data quality has been frequently left aside. Since data plays a key role in organization efficiency management, its quality should be managed. With the intention of providing a base for data quality management, our proposal address the adaptation of a XML DB development methodology focused on data quality. To do that we have based on some key area processes of a Data Quality Maturity reference model for information management process definition.
