Abstract

This report looks at developing controlled vocabularies in the domain of information quality assurance. It begins by providing some background to previous DESIRE activity and an overview of PICS and RDF technologies in this area. The report then presents a breakdown of some example applications, organised according to the agency responsible for making some machine-readable assertions about a resource. It provides recommendations for future directions and presents a number of possible demonstrators.
