The Application of the IQMM Model to Evaluating the Science and Technology Information Resource Sharing Projects in China

摘要

The problems associated with Information Quality (IQ) have become prominent restraints for China's efforts for promoting science and technology (S&T) information resource sharing. It is important to use comprehensive, authentic and accurate means to describe, measure and evaluate the Information Quality Management (IQM) of S&T information resource sharing projects. In this paper, a framework of Information Quality Management Maturity (IQMM) assessment is proposed, which is focused on the maturity features, constituent elements, key links and processes and evaluation criteria and methods of maturity levels of IQMM to provide effective strategies and measures to improve IQ in the S&T information resource-sharing construction. The paper finally presents the preliminary results of a case study, where IQMM assessment is applied to some of the specific S&T information resource sharing management projects in the national program "National Science and Technology Foundation Platform" in China, to improve IQ continuously.
