Abstract
This paper aims to present the needs of the professional information user for data quality. Firstly by looking at quality issues which are important to all professional information seeking tasks, and which should not be overlooked in order for advances in information retrieval to be acceptance by this community; and secondly to provide an example of a specific information retrieval task which, not only requires all the common quality criteria to be met, but is also common to three different professional groups. It is hoped that by considering common tasks such as this, fruitful directions for future research in IR which will benefit a wider number of information seekers will be realised. For the professional information user confidence in quality derives from data integrity, meaning information security, repeatability, transparency, timeliness, and confidentiality of information source, system and solution. Secondly an example of a use case common to three professional user groups will be used to illustrate these quality requirements, and to also describe again the complexity of professional information needs, but also, hopefully to illustrate some further area where information retrieval advances would be welcomed. 1
