As part of some research I am doing on measuring documentation quality, I have come across the terms "accurate" and "believable" as two **separate** dimensions of information quality. But the differences between them are not clear at all to me: they define **accurate** as "correct, reliable, and certified free of error" and **believable** as "true, real, and credible". Looking at the dictionary didn't help me much either. So I'm putting this out here - what is the difference between these two dimension as they relate to documentation quality? The original source is here: Wang R. & Strong, D. (1996). Beyond accuracy: what data quality means to data consumers. J. of Man. Info. Sys., 12 (4), p.5-34)
