Abstract: The goal of this study is to investigate definitions and measurement operations in use for the data accuracy dimension of data quality so that this knowledge can be used to serve as a foundation for a precise definition of data accuracy and a justification for its measure. A multidisciplinary scientific literature review was conducted to collect definitions and measurement operations of data accuracy. These definitions and measurement operations were analysed and coded by a content analysis. It was found that there is a reasonable consensus that data accuracy, for both a single data item and multiple data items, is related to one specific notion, namely the magnitude of an error. This study adds to the knowledge base by identifying a notion of data accuracy that is considerably well-agreed upon, such that it can serve as a foundation for a precise definition of and a justification for a measure of data accuracy.
