Project statement 1:
Prepare a short note giving introduction to Information Integrity knowledge initiative.

Summary of what the project is about:
Database research community has always acknowledged impact of data errors on Databases, and accordingly there are concepts of Data Security and Data Integrity. However, Date distinguishes between the two by observing that while security involves ensuring that users are allowed to do the things they want to do, integrity involves ensuring that the things they are trying to do are correct. In other words, security means protecting the database against unauthorized users, whereas integrity means protecting it against authorized users (direct as well as indirect). Indeed, integrity, unlike security, is applicable even in a single-user system (it is always desirable to avoid errors); and it is far more relevant when the system is shared.

A "classification category" name for this project [e.g. industry, academia, UG, PG students, assignment, short project, etc]

• Academic assignment: Of particular interest to UG students of computer science, software engineering and PG students of management with particular interest in information systems.

Project statement 2:
Survey the I*I research status .

Summary of what the project is about:
With unprecedented advances in information technologies and with shared data environments, organizations and individuals are increasingly concerned with capture, use and control of growing, complex and diversified volumes of data. However such databases are invariably affected by data errors; in turn requiring critical attention to the question of impact of data defects on the working of information processing systems. The paper submits that this essentially is the question of researching methods for data repairs and for enhancing data integrity of information systems. With this objective, the paper surveys research effort in Information Integrity starting from early studies in the area of Electronic Data Processing on data errors and Svanks' suggestions for research thrust in areas of data defects and data repair and Integrity Analysis Methodology. This is followed by survey of researches in the areas of Accounting, Data Quality attributes and Total Data Quality Management and Technology. Based on this research survey, the paper in the end presents suggestions for research initiatives in Information Integrity in terms of : Defining Information Integrity, Integrity attributes - Objective and Subjective, Designing of Information Systems with Integrity measures, Systems Technologies for Information Integrity and other research areas in terms of Integrity Management.
