Appendix: Acknowledgments

This guide relied heavily on two sources:

• Stephanie Singer's Data Quality Guide for Governments (google doc), funded by the Knight Foundation. Thank you for your insightful feedback and for providing such a wonderful and rich resource as we muddle our way down the data quality path!

• Executing Data Quality Projects: Ten Steps to Quality Data and Trusted Information by Danette McGilvray. This book is a treasure in a world without a lot of concrete advice.

The following people gave great feedback that helped improve this guide:

• Andrew Nicklin, Johns Hopkins University Center for Government Excellence

• Blake Valenta, Data Fellow, DataSF & Harvard's DataSmart

• Janine Heiser, Open Data Services Engineer, DataSF
