Introduction

As more and more people add data to OFF, the quality of the data is under pressure. People might enter data that is wrong, in the wrong place, etc. This could be by accident or on purpose. If OFF wants to be a reliable source of information for consumers, it should set up procedures to guard and improve the data quality. This project is an attempt to create an overview of the possible errors, how these errors can be found and what can be done about it. (This project extends Project:Error detection)

Data errors

This section lists all the possible data errors. Each error has a description, a detection method and a solution.
