Abstract

In the Internet of Things (IoT), data gathered from dozens of devices are the base for creating business value and developing new products and services. If data are of poor quality, decisions are likely to be non-sense. Data quality is crucial to gain business value of the IoT initiatives. This paper presents a systematic literature review regarding IoT data quality from 2000 to 2020. We analyzed 58 articles to identify IoT data quality dimensions and issues and their categorizations. According to this analysis, we offer a classification of IoT data characterizations using the focus group method and clarify the link between dimensions and issues in each category. Manifesting a link between dimensions and issues in each category is incumbent, while this critical affair in extant categorizations is ignored. We also examine data security as an important data quality issue and suggest potential solutions to overcome IoT's security issues. The finding of this study proposes a new research discipline for additional examination for researchers and practitioners in determining data quality in the context of IoT.

物联网数据质量问题和潜在解决方案:文献综述

在物联网（IoT）中，从数十台设备收集的数据是创造商业价值和开发新产品和服务的基础。如果数据质量很差，那么决策很可能是没有意义的。数据质量对于获得物联网计划的商业价值至关重要。本文介绍了2000年至2020年关于物联网数据质量的系统文献综述。我们分析了58篇文章，以确定物联网数据质量的维度和问题及其分类。根据这一分析，我们使用焦点小组方法对物联网数据特征进行了分类，并澄清了每个类别中维度和问题之间的联系。在每个类别中表现维度和问题之间的联系是义不容辞的，而在现存的分类中，这一关键问题被忽视了。我们还将数据安全作为一个重要的数据质量问题进行了研究，并提出了克服物联网安全问题的潜在解决方案。这项研究的发现为研究人员和从业者在物联网背景下确定数据质量提供了一个新的研究学科。
