Data Management: Accessibility (Definitions)

"Capable of being reached, capable of being used or seen." (Martin J Eppler, "Managing Information Quality" 2nd Ed., 2006)

"The degree to which data can be obtained and used." (Danette McGilvray, "Executing Data Quality Projects", 2008)

"The opportunity to find, as well as the ease and convenience associated with locating, information. Often, this is related to the physical location of the individual seeking the information and the physical location of the information in a book or journal." (Jimmie L Joseph & David P Cook, "Medical Ethical and Policy Issues Arising from RIA", 2008)

"An inherent quality characteristic that is a measure of the ability to access data when it is required." (David C Hay, "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map", 2010)

"The ability to readily obtain data when needed." (DAMA International, "The DAMA Dictionary of Data Management", 2011)

"Accessibility refers to the difficulty level for users to obtain data. Accessibility is closely linked with data openness, the higher the data openness degree, the more data types obtained, and the higher the degree of accessibility." (Li Cai & Yangyong Zhu, "The Challenges of Data Quality and Data Quality Assessment in the Big Data Era", 2015) [source]

"It is the state of each user to have access to any information at any time." (ihsan Eken & Basak Gezmen, "Accessibility for Everyone in Health Communication Mobile Application Usage", 2020)

"Data accessibility measures the extent to which government data are provided in open and re-usable formats, with their associated metadata." (OECD)
