Describes building a data-quality rule repository for a healthcare EDW program focused on ‘trusted data.’ The author explains storing configurable quality rules, metadata about datasets, and measurement results, then needing a form of ‘inferencing’ in a relational database when semantic-web tooling wasn’t an option. A key use case is inheriting data quality rules from a parent dataset to lower-level subsets (e.g., canonical message types used across services). The post connects governance, measurement, and rule inheritance to making trust verifiable rather than aspirational.
