ABSTRACT
Data quality is an important aspect in many fields. In citizen science application databases, data quality is often found lacking, which is why there needs to be a method of integrating data quality into the design. This paper tackles the problem by dividing data quality into separate characteristics according to the ISO / IEC 25012 standard. These characteristics are integrated into a conceptual model of the system and data model for citizen science applications. Furthermore, the paper describes a way to measure data quality using the data quality characteristics. The models and measuring methods are theoretical and can be adapted into case specific designs.
