Importing Reference Data from other Sources
Summary
This page discusses risks and mitigation around importing data in Tideway Foundation. With Foundation's provenance feature which shows exactly how data is captured and where it came from, it is important that any imported data goes through the same level of data quality checking.
==
Impact | Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
Credibility of Source Data | * Data source collects manually inputted data | * Workshop with data source owners and project |
Availability of Source Data | * Data source is not available on a scheduled basis | * Reduce import frequency to reflect how often the source data is available |
Representation of Data in TWF | * Data is not represented in Foundation as found in original source (i.e. BTU data for a model spec where discovered spec differs) | * Document the data mapping and review with technology teams who will use the data and Sponsors |
Reconciliation | * Data in Foundation does not reconcile with source data | * Test and document all import processes in the solution architecture |
