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. date: 2014 date_type: published publisher: Springer official_url: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07121-3_14 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 992041 doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-07121-3_14 isbn_13: 978-3-319-07120-6 lyricists_name: Illari, Phyllis Kirstin lyricists_id: PKILL68 actors_name: Allington-Smith, Dominic actors_id: DAALL44 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: Synthese Library (SNLI) volume: 358 place_of_pub: Cham, Switzerland pagerange: 281-301 book_title: The Philosophy of Information Quality editors_name: Floridi, L editors_name: Illari, P citation: Illari, P; (2014) IQ: Purpose and Dimensions.
