The United States Office of Management and Budget (2002) Information Quality Guidelines include the concept of appropriateness in their term utility , which they define as useful and appropriate . We have focused on appropriateness, believing that the data are truly useful only if they are first appropriate and relevant to the question at hand. 

In the United States Office of Management and Budget (2002) Information Quality Guidelines, accuracy is included in the broader concept of objectivity , which addresses whether information is being presented in an accurate, clear, complete, and unbiased manner, and as a matter of substance, is accurate, reliable, and unbiased .

A different type of definition of a standard is given in The United States Office of Management and Budget Circular A-119 ... 

Chapter 1 provides a summary outlook on this complex topic with suggested three key references that address the static and dynamic mechanical behavior and associated degradation of composites from fluid exposure. Since the topic requires mastery of polymer science and engineering, engineering mechanics, chemical and polymer characterization, and thermodynamics of multi-phase materials, the author s perspective is more slanted on solid mechanics aspect of these materials. Jack had consistent financial support for three decades to study this topic from the Solid Mechanics Program managed by Dr. Yapa Rajapakse at the United States Office of Naval Research (ONR). Thus, the author is uniquely qualified to address this complex topic.
