#DataFest2025 #KODAQS #DataQuality
Data Fest 2025, which takes place from 28 to 30 March at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, is getting closer. KODAQS is officially taking part for the first time this year. The competition offers students the opportunity to work on extensive data sets in teams of 3-5 people within 48 hours. Kodaqs will contribute with a team of experts to measure and analyse the data quality.

Oh, hey, #DataGovernance, #DataQuality, and #DataStewardship are constructs which have been around for as long as the relational database has been in existence, and are pathologically ignored because they reveal truth to power in uncomfortable ways.

Text from article: DOGE said it saved $232 million by canceling an IT contract. The actual savings was $560,000. One of the entries on the DOGE website, first reported by The Intercept, claimed to save $232 million by canceling a technology contract with the Social Security Administration. The only aspect of the contract that was canceled, however, was "a project to develop an 'X' gender marker for the agency’s internal databases." That cancellation, part of a larger anti-trans agenda, will produce $560,000 in savings. The rest of the contract is unchanged. Hundreds of millions in duplicate entries Politico analyzed the data and identified "at least 14 instances where items are repeated, totaling $325 million in claimed savings." Among the duplicates was "a single $25 million item under the Agriculture Department" that was repeated four times. DOGE counted each vendor authorized to bid on the contract as a separate item. Actually, there are "only two finalized contracts from the vendors listed," and they have "been awarded less than $1 million." A simple $8 billion error About half of the savings initially listed by DOGE were based on the cancellation of "a single $8 billion contract for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency." The contract, however, was actually for just $8 million. Only $2.5 million had been spent under the contract in two-and-a-half years. Misunderstanding the federal contracting process...

Why should you care that the software you use is open-source?

With OSS you get peace of mind through:

- Transparency into how things work
- Ability to contribute and improve the software
- Community-driven innovation

With Recce you can see exactly how each diff works:

@ChrisMayLA6 A key ingredient in AI is data. I have spent much of my career helping organisations manage #dataquality and it is fair to say, the quality of data related to most organisations is pretty poor at best. Feeding poor data into any LLM or AI tool will not deliver the results anticipated, but as often observed, may come up with a plausibly wrong answer. Treat all outputs of AI with extreme caution!

📊 New research finds minimal evidence that using a smartphone for surveys leads to lower data quality. Regardless of device, respondents provided consistent results.

Me: “I’m nowhere near Gorey”
Them: “But your eircode says your nearest depot is in Gorey”
Me: “Nope. It’s 3 minutes from me in Wexford”
Them: “OK. I’ll change that”
