Abstract

An acceptable level of quality in data is nowadays a paramount for any kind of organization or enterprise that wishes its business processes to prosper. Thus, introducing activities focused in the data quality management is a crucial requirement for the analysts if the level of quality of data for the functionality or service at hand is to be ensured. Such specialized data quality management activities should be presented as early as possible during the software development process. So far and having done a search for proposals in this field, there is still a lack of either methodological or technological proposals with which a developer could be able to design data quality aware applications in the specific field of Web application development. Considering the benefits offered in the field of Model Driven Web Engineering, this work presents a partial outcome of our research in this novel field: a metamodel and a UML profile, both able to be used as data quality artefacts during the design stage of Web applications. The main objective is to provide the designer with the tools needed to design Web applications, in order to prevent data quality issues.
