Information Quality Assessment and the Web3D

Assessing information quality (IQ) of the web has become a remarkable research topic in recent years. Despite the great amount of surveys conducted in this field, to the best of our knowledge, such assessment has not yet been investigated from the three-dimensional web (web3D) point of view. In web3D, information quality assessment, issues transform in several ways, and the current methods for assessing will not suffice. This article uses a descriptive approach to investigate such a matter. After categorizing previous achievements and analyzing the new formed situation, some information quality aspects are proposed for the first time based on informational attributes of the web3D. This study would be used as a basis for further experimental studies. It may be also useful for categorizing the IQ dimensions and metrics in the web3D.
