MC Which statement is CORRECT? The catalog forms the heart of a database.

It
can be an integral part of the DBMS or a standalone component. incorrect The
catalog makes sure the database continues to be correct by, amongst others,
specifying all integrity rules. incorrect The catalog describes all metadata
components that are defined in the metamodel. incorrect All of these statements
are correct. correct
MC A data steward notices that part of the database contains values in a
different language. Which type of data quality error is this? Intrinsic
incorrect Contextual incorrect Representational correct
Accessibility incorrect
MC Is the following statement true or false? "Accuracy of a database depends on
its representational and contextual characteristics." True correct False
incorrect
MC Why can data incompleteness prove to be useful information?We can track down
faults in the database model, such as updating errors that cause inconsistencies.
incorrect We can track down the source of the incompleteness and thereby
eliminate the cause thereof. incorrect We can track down certain patterns in the
incomplete fields, which can lead to more information about a certain user.
incorrect All of the above. correct
MC Which statement is NOT CORRECT? Subjectivity can cause data quality
issues. incorrect Consistency issues can arise due to sharing data across
multiple departments. incorrect Data quality can always be measured
objectively. correct All aspects of data quality need to be checked
regularly, as every change in the database or even the company can lead to
unforeseen issues. incorrect
MC Backup and recovery management is the task of... the database designer
incorrect the data steward incorrect the database administrator
correct the data scientist incorrect
MC For which DQ dimension and category is the following the given definition:
'The extent to which data are applicable and helpful for the task at hand.'
Relevance, intrinsic incorrect Actionable, intrinsic incorrect
Relevance, contextual correct Actionable, contextual incorrect
MC To which category belongs the DQ dimension 'Accuracy'? Intrinsic
correct Contextual incorrect Representation incorrect Access
incorrect
MC To which category belongs the DQ dimension 'Actionable'? Intrinsic
incorrect Contextual correct Representation incorrect Access
incorrect
MC Which of the following is included in the catalog? The frequency of the
backups. incorrect How/where the data is replicated, and how consistency is
assured amongst these replicas. incorrect Which transactions work with which
data. incorrect All of the above are included in the catalog. correct
MC Which statement is CORRECT? In a data quality context, 'Fitness for use'
implies that the data should be of perfect quality in all decision contexts.
incorrect Poor data quality only affects organizations in their operational
processes. incorrect The four categories in which DQ dimensions can be grouped
according to Wang et al. (1996) are: intrinsic, contextual, representation and
access. correct Each data quality issue can always be put into exactly one
dimension of the DQ framework suggested by Wang et al. (1996). incorrect
MC Which statement is NOT CORRECT? The catalog is typically not part of the
DBMS. correct The catalog should provide facilities to import and export data
definitions. incorrect The catalog can be used to enforce integrity rules to
ensure that the database is in a consistent and correct state at all times.
incorrect The catalog should keep statistics on the data and its usage.
incorrect
MC Which statement is NOT CORRECT? The DQ dimension 'Accuracy' is often
heavily correlated with other DQ dimensions. incorrect We can distinguish only
two perspectives in the completeness dimension: schema completeness and population
completeness. correct The DQ dimension 'Accessibility' often implies a
tradeoff between more security measures and easily accessible. incorrect Data
quality is very contextual. incorrect
MC Which statement is NOT CORRECT? The 4 steps in the Total Data Quality
Management framework of Wang (1998) are: define, measure, analyze and implement.
correct ITIL is an example of a data quality management framework.
incorrect A partial short term solution for data quality improvement can be
achieved by annotating data with explicit information about its quality in the
catalog. incorrect Ideally, data governance should be set-up as a company-wide
controlled and supported approach. incorrect
MC Which statement is NOT CORRECT? The data steward should ensure the
quality of current business data and metadata. incorrect The DBA will implement
and monitor the database. incorrect The data owner is always the original
producer of the data. correct Data stewards can undertake two types of
actions to improve data quality: corrective measures and preventive measures.
incorrect
