Abstract

Abstract : Evolving capabilities in environmental data collection, sharing, and processing, are enabling unprecedented use of data from a wide range of sources. Yet data freshness, an important quality dimension associated with the age of data, is a poorly reported aspect of data quality that can lead to additional uncertainty in research findings.
