The QUANTUM Data quality, utility and maturity label

This page presents the QUANTUM assessment framework used to evaluate datasets' quality & utility as well as Data Holder maturity in the context of the European Health Data Space. It provides access to the Dataset Quality & Utility Assessment and the Maturity Assessment, including the relevant EHDS categories, dimensions, definitions, metrics, and available assessment levels. The page also displays the final QUANTUM label, summarising the results of the assessment and supporting a transparent understanding of the dataset’s quality, utility, and related organisational maturity.

 

 

1. The Dataset quality and utility (DQ&U) assessment

Click on the button below to explore the QUANTUM Dataset Quality & Utility Assessment framework for assessing datasets intended for secondary use in the EHDS context. It guides data holders through the four EHDS categories, the corresponding quality and utility dimensions, and the related metrics used to describe the dataset assessment. Open each category, dimension, and metric to view the definitions, recommended measurement approach, and available assessment levels that support consistent interpretation and reporting.

2. The Data holder maturity assessment tool

Click on the button below to explore the QUANTUM Maturity Assessment framework for evaluating the organisational maturity of data holders. It helps readers understand which maturity dimensions are assessed, what each dimension means, and which levels can be assigned when reporting how mature the organisation's data management and data quality processes are.

Note that in the QUANTUM assessment framework, Maturity is not represented as a single, aggregate score for an entire organisation. Instead, the QUANTUM model recognises that a single Data Holder may operate under multiple Data Governance Workflows (DGW), each with distinct levels of maturity. When evaluating the QUANTUM label for a dataset, it must be associated with a specific DGW previously assessed by the Data Holder. Consequently, there is no "average" or single maturity score for an organisation. A Data Holder’s maturity is expressed as a list of its independent DGW maturity scores. Furthermore, the DQ&U score of a dataset is not influenced by the maturity of its associated workflow; they remain independent assessment.

3. GitHub repository containing the technical documentation and guidance for the local installation of the tool

Click on the button below to explore the QUANTUM GitHub repository, which contains the tool’s source code, technical documentation, and guidance for local installation and deployment. It provides the materials needed to understand, run, and potentially reuse or further develop the QUANTUM labelling tool.

4. Guidelines on how to use the QUANTUM tool

Click on the button below to explore the document providing practical guidance for data holders on how to assess and report the quality and utility of datasets within the QUANTUM framework. It complements the QUANTUM specifications by translating the framework into operational guidance, examples, and measurement approaches for each dimension of the label. It also includes a data quality reporting template and methodological guidance on controls, checks, rules, criticality, and reporting logic.

5. Guidelines on how to interpret the RDF structure

Click on the button below to access a report proposing the initial RDF template for the QUANTUM Data Quality, Utility and Maturity (DQ&U&M) label, and providing practical examples of its implementation. The template provides a machine-readable representation of dataset-level quality assessments, using established W3C standards such as DCAT, DQV, SKOS, Open Annotation and PROV-O, extended through the custom QUANTUM qnt vocabulary.
