Why was the quality of the data poor?: Organisation of data input

Early on it was recognised that world-wide aggregation of X data would require a common classification system to be established as part of the new system (00219, 00023) but when data was loaded different interpretations were put on fields so they were used inconsistently (00342). This was addressed as part of the data audit in the autumn of '94 (00673).
