  The mon­i­tor­ing of the tech­ni­cal in­fra­struc­ture at CERN re­lies on the qual­ity of the de­f­i­n­i­tion of nu­mer­ous and het­ero­ge­neous data sources. In 2006, we in­tro­duced the MoD­ESTI* pro­ce­dure for the Tech­ni­cal In­fra­struc­ture Mon­i­tor­ing** (TIM) sys­tem to pro­mote data qual­ity. The first step in the data in­te­gra­tion process is the stan­dard­i­s­a­tion of the de­c­la­ra­tion of the var­i­ous data points whether these are alarms, equip­ment sta­tuses or ana­logue mea­sure­ment val­ues. Users de­clare their data points and can fol­low their re­quests, mon­i­tor­ing per­son­nel en­sure the in­fra­struc­ture is adapted to the new data, and con­trol room op­er­a­tors check that the data points are de­fined in a con­sis­tent and in­tel­li­gi­ble way. Fur­ther­more, rig­or­ous val­i­da­tions are car­ried out on input data to en­sure cor­rect­ness as well as op­ti­mal in­te­gra­tion with other com­puter sys­tems at CERN (main­te­nance man­age­ment, ge­o­graph­i­cal view­ing tools etc.). We are now re­design­ing the MoD­ESTI pro­ce­dure in order to pro­vide an in­tu­itive and stream­lined Web based tool for man­ag­ing data de­f­i­n­i­tion, as well as re­duc­ing the time be­tween data point in­te­gra­tion re­quests and im­ple­men­ta­tion. Ad­di­tion­ally, we are in­tro­duc­ing a Class-De­vice-Prop­erty data de­f­i­n­i­tion model, a stan­dard in the CERN ac­cel­er­a­tor sec­tor, for a more flex­i­ble use of the TIM data points.
