Data quality
The province of Drenthe has set up a data warehouse based on the Key Registers in the BRMO mid-office solution of B3Partners. Before making the data widely accessible for use within the organisation, the data has been checked for content and consistency. The client has drawn up several technical and functional quality rules, which have been validated and reported by DX. Subsequently, the province of Drenthe effectively improved the data.
Drenthe is also known as 't Olde Landschap (the old landscape). Mammoth hunters lived there 60,000 years ago and about 5,000 years ago, the dolmen builders left their monuments in the Drenthe landscape.
These dolmen are megalithic tombs, consisting of boulders that were moved there in the penultimate Ice Age. The Netherlands has 53 dolmen, 52 of which located in the province of Drenthe.
