Interface MeasureReference

@UML(identifier="DQ_MeasureReference",
     specification=ISO_19157)
public interface MeasureReference

Identifier of a measure fully described elsewhere. At least one of measure identification and measure names shall be provided. The whole description can be found within a measure register or catalogue.

Catalogue of data quality measures

Catalogues of data quality measures may be available online to fully describe the measures referenced in the data quality report of the data evaluated. The catalogue may contain the set of measures used in one or several data quality reports. The catalogue (as a register) enables the user to describe the measure, and store the information in order to be able to refer to it each time needed, instead of re-describing the measure within a data quality report. This MeasureReference represents a reference to a measure in a catalogue. The full measure description is given by Measure.
