Reliability - Data generated by a system are based on protocols and procedures that do not change according to who is using them and when or how often they are used. Data can be considered broadly reliable if the same results (or similar) can be gained by different users asking the same questions of the same system. The data are reliable because they are measured and collected consistently.
