Description
Data governance is a key element for sustainable data management and includes several elements to which the city has to pay attention: monitoring, management roles, data quality measuring, and operational rules.
Three important levels can be identified in the context of effective municipal data governance:
1. Within municipal departments and agencies
2. Between municipal departments and agencies
3. Within the wider local innovation ecosystem
1.
Potential Elements
- Defining data management roles and ownership for each data object
- Establishment of a departmental data model consistent with the city data model
- Continuously assessing data quality using metrics or key performance indicators
- Clearly deciding and defining what belongs to departmental data models and to city data models
