“Electronic files of Southern California’s rail system can be downloaded from the Federal Railroad Administration’s website,” the Los Angeles Times says, “but are riddled with errors, placing hundreds of rail crossings at points far from any railroad tracks. Many are shown in the Pacific [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From today&#8217;s Irish Independent comes a story which clearly shows the impact that poor quality information can have on a process or an outcome. The tale serves to highlight the fact that information entered as part of a process can feed into other processes and result in a less than desirable outcome.

A Swedish couple holidaying in Italy were looking forward to their visit to the lovely sunny island of  Capri.

This story from today&#8217;s Irish Examiner shows the importance of checking that the message being communicated is accurate and timely. It&#8217;s a trainwreck because it relates to trains, there was a problem and it will cost [...]]]></description>

Again culled from el Reg, here&#8217;s an example of an information quality problem that prevents a process (a very trivial process) from being completed.
