First, I examine some attempts to offer categories for IQ, and a specific problem that impedes convergence in such categorisations is diagnosed. Based on this new understanding, I suggest a new way of categorising both IQ dimensions and the metrics used in implementation of IQ improvement programmes according to what they are properties of. I conclude the paper by outlining an initial categorisation of some IQ dimensions and metrics in standard use to illustrate the value of the approach.}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07121-3\%5f14}, author = {Illari, P}, keywords = {Conceptual Understanding, Information Quality, Integrity Constraint, Address Data, Proxy Indicator} }
