World Oil Reserves Data: Information Quality Assessment Analysis (Completed Academic Paper)

摘要

While high quality oil data can help oil companies and governments reduce risk of investments and increase profits, bad oil data can lead to economic losses. In this research, we propose a framework for assessing the information quality of world oil reserves data. The framework is applied by calculating the information quality ratings of relevant information sources. The information quality dimensions assessed in this framework include Data Decay, Data Integrity and Reputation, Data Coverage and Completeness, Degree of Compliance with Data Standards, Expertise of Data Source, and Degree to which Data was Vetted. Using the proposed framework, we assess the information qualities of some well-known sources of oil reserve data.
