Positive Impacts

  • •Reduces the need for ad-hoc data collection or inferring missing structural information.
  • •Supports better data understanding and context as all relevant facets are defined.
Negative Impacts (if poor quality)
  • •Inability to perform required business functions if critical attributes are missing from the data structure.
  • •Limited analytical capabilities due to lack of necessary descriptive data points.
  • •Increased effort to augment datasets with missing structural elements.
  • •Poor data modeling leading to systems that don't fully support business needs.
