I recently attended and presented at the PLM10 conference in Bremen. One of the other attendees, Professor Chris McMahon of Bath University, suggested that affordance was an additional quality attribute that should be considered when assessing data quality.
I had not heard of this term before, so have done a little research to find out more.

We recently hosted two US students visiting the UK on the “People to People” programme. Our children’s school plays host to the “Homestay” section of the programme. The US students stay with a UK family with kids of around the same age, go to school with them and generally experience everyday life in the UK.
One of the fascinating thing as a parent is observing how the US and UK kids discover and then overcome their cultural differences. Our school uniform always causes comment, especially the blazer. The US kids get asked to say words like “awesome” and we normally are amused about our garden being called a backyard.
Observing this made me think of the differences I see in culture between teams when I’m facilitating.
