If data is a governed resource, like other resources (e.g., human resources, finance, property), how is Data Governance different from other types of Governance?
A.
Oversight of a particular resource
B.
Agreed models for risk management over the particular resource
C.
Oversight of a resource that represents other resources, therefore supporting other resource governance
D.
Ensuring compliance with regulation for the particular resource
E.
Agreed models for decision making and decision rights, defined authority, and escalation paths for the resource
Data governance is unique because data represents other resources (e.g., financial data represents money, customer data represents people), making it foundational to other governance types. The DAMA-DMBOK states: “Data governance differs from other governance disciplines because data is a resource that represents other resources, enabling and supporting governance of finance, HR, and other assets” (DMBOK2, Chapter 3: Data Governance, p. 105). Options A, B, D, and E describe general governance aspects but do not highlight data’s unique representational role.
