Petrolink Open-Sources Its Data Quality Algorithm to Support the Open Standards Community

Releasing the algorithm under open-source code provides transparency to data providers, operators, and to data consuming applications. We are passionate about continuous improvement in the field of data monitoring and data quality – not just for our customers but for everyone. By sharing the code, we want to promote an open dialog between data providers and consumers. There should be no secret as to how data quality is measured, calculated, and scored. The importance of good quality data cannot be overemphasized, when you consider the safety risks and costly errors that can occur due to bad data. We hope that the broader community will collaborate on which dimensions should be measured and agree on the algorithms to calculate each dimension.
