Knowledge workers need data they can trust as early in their processes as possible to make decisions that improve operational efficiency, enable worker safety and minimize costs. As our previous papers on trustworthiness have shown, data do not have to be of uniformly HIGH quality to be useful, they have to be of APPROPRIATE quality for the task at hand. To judge whether the data are appropriate or not requires the availability of additional information - "metadata" - so the user can decide what to use and what to leave behind. This presentation will build on the previous papers to suggest methods for extracting this metadata directly from acquisition and interpretation systems and how it could best be conveyed.
