6. Information that is "lost in translation" The person (or service) updating the data understands it, but cues that might help someone interpret the data are missing. This might be a combination of a couple of the others, but seemed worthy of another bullet.

7. Loss due to inaccurate or misleading metadata The information might be added correctly but when passed along in the form of a report, the information describing the data could be misleading (even to the extent that the untagged data is fine, but the described/tagged data would appear wrong).
