High-quality data is essential for reliable analysis, decision-making, and research across domains. This is especially relevant in areas such as cultural heritage, where data is collected and curated manually, making it prone to quality issues like inconsistencies. To improve data quality, the data must be analyzed regularly using systematic quality analyses. Quality analyses validate the conformance of data to domain-specific expectations. These expectations are best understood by domain experts, who can express them using natural language. However, they rarely possess the technical expertise to formalize these expectations into executable quality analyses. Consequently, this process requires domain experts and data engineers, making it time-consuming and technically demanding. The required technical expertise and the resulting dependencies pose a significant challenge. To address this challenge, we present a pipeline for formalizing and operationalizing data quality constraints. We support this pipeline using QPM, a metamodel for defining templates for reusable quality analyses. The web application Constrainify enables tailoring templates to specific conceptual requirements and translating them into executable quality analyses via a tool-chain based on model-driven engineering subpipelines. The result is a set of reusable, repeatable, and domain-specific quality analyses.

Mit der Servicestelle soll eine praxisnahe und bedarfsorientierte Anlaufstelle für Beratung, Vermittlung, Entwicklung und Vernetzung geschaffen werden. Ziel ist es, die Nutzung des LIDO-Formats (kurz für Lightweight Information Describing Objects) als international etablierten XML-Standard für die Dokumentation von Objekten des materiellen und immateriellen Kulturerbes zu fördern.
