The Journal of Systems and Software includes in its May 2021 issue the article Data quality certification using ISO/IEC 25012: Industrial experiences, in which the AQCLab team describes in a practical way the results of the data quality evaluation and certification process on the repositories of three organizations belonging to different industry and service sectors.

Given the growing importance of data as the main driver of value in companies, AQCLab provides its data quality evaluation service. The published article details how the ISO/IEC 25000-based data quality evaluation and certification process was carried out on the data repositories of three organizations. AQCLab has collaborated as an accredited evaluation laboratory in this process, together with DQTeam and the Alarcos Research Group, who participated as data quality consultants. Based on the evaluations carried out by AQCLab, the organizations were subsequently able to obtain a certificate of conformance with ISO/IEC 25012 issued by AENOR for their repositories.

The experiences carried out showed how the evaluationand certification of data helps to increase confidence and improve the reliability of the data with which organizations work, and enables them to gain a deeper understanding of their business processes. In addition, data quality evaluation helps to detect and mitigate risks related to data quality in the organizations' repositories.
