Step 1 – How the Taxonomy & the Reporting Standard Affect Quality
Obtaining high quality data requires significant upfront planning and a solid understanding of what’s being reported. First, it’s critical to create a taxonomy that accurately reflects the necessary architecture of the data, with clear and appropriate concept definitions with key players engaged. What are the restrictions and the flexibility in the underlying standard? What data needs to be reported and how will it be used? Data intermediaries and analytical tool providers should be aware of the basics of taxonomy building so they can adapt their tools and be prepared to manage the data extracted. Facilitated discussion groups will be used to brainstorm ways to manage this critical step in the process.

Step 2 – How Filers Affect the Usefulness of their Data
What happens when filers (government agencies, public companies, contractors) tag their own data? Is there sufficient guidance and an automated means of testing their own work? How does flexibility affect the data produced? Attend this session to learn how different implementations produce different kinds of data, based in part on the kind of validation methods made available to the reporting entities.
