Data Quality (DQ) - to benchmark data quality standards in the UK and encourage development of business awareness of the importance of DQ and help develop DG metrics. Government regulations versus data - to increase awareness of the legal implications of data management, assist organisations in reducing their legal liabilities and support ETA (and others) lobby for "data clever" legislation. Data Standards - survey requirements then work with other organisations (eg BCS) to develop effective data standards.
