In this paper we describe a framework for multidatabase query processing that fully includes the quality of information in many facets, such as completeness, timeliness, accuracy, etc. We seamlessly include information quality into a multidatabase query rocessor based on a view-rewriting mechanism. We model information quality at different levels to ultimately find a set of high-quality query-answering plans.
