Dynamic Data Quality for Static Blockchains

Abstract

Blockchain's popularity has changed the way people think about data access, storage, and retrieval. Because of this, many classic data management challenges are imbued with renewed significance. One such challenge is the issue of Dynamic Data Quality. As time passes, data changes in content and structure and thus becomes dynamic. Data quality, therefore, also becomes dynamic because it is an aggregate characteristic of the changing content and changing structure of data itself. But blockchain is a static structure. The friction between static blockchains and Dynamic Data Quality give rise to new research opportunities, which the authors address in this paper.
