Information about the reliability of data quality results. The knowledge about the suitability of the quality evaluation method may be of the same importance as the result itself. Instances should be one of the following subtypes:

• Confidence: trustworthiness of a data quality result;
• Representativity: degree to which the sample used has produced a result which is representative of the data within the data quality scope;
• Homogeneity: expected or tested uniformity of the results obtained for a data quality evaluation.
