MAMD: Towards a Data Improvement Model Based on ISO 8000-6X and ISO/IEC 33000

Organizations are increasingly becoming aware that the better the data, the higher the benefits they can obtain from them. To maximize the benefits from data, it is highly recommended to institutionalize a set of good practices related to data management, data quality management and data governance. As a result of our research, we have developed MAMD (Alarcos’ Model for Data Improvement). MAMD is a framework consisting of a process reference model addressing the best practices of data management, data quality management and data governance, and an assessment and improvement model of the level of institutionalization of these practices. This paper describes how we have developed MAMD from ISO 8000-6x and ISO/IEC 33000.
