Data Architecture is the foundation for data governance
Data Architecture is the foundation for data governance. Data Governance is the process of setting standards and controls that help organizations manage their data resources in order to meet business requirements, protect against corruption, preserve confidentiality and ensure availability.
Data Architecture is the foundation for data quality. Data quality refers to the quality of information in an organization’s possession or control, regardless of its source or method of capture (e.g., manual versus electronic). By applying measures of accuracy, completeness, consistency and purity across all types and forms of business information throughout its lifecycle from creation through maintenance to destruction – we can improve overall productivity while reducing risk by eliminating errors from our decision making processes where possible – thereby increasing shareholder value!
Data Architecture is also a key component for security architecture because it identifies what information should be protected based on how critical it is within your organization’s goals/objectives—and then takes steps toward securing those assets using appropriate technologies such as encryption keys management systems and the like.
Why Enterprise Data Architects Need Data Lineage
Data lineage is the most important tool for data architects because it helps them identify and resolve data quality issues. It also provides a visual representation of how information flows throughout an organization, enabling them to gain a better understanding of their business’s data assets.
An enterprise-class solution for managing lineages can be used by both individuals and teams, providing an easy way to manage dependencies between different types of objects (e.g., entities) that exist within one or multiple databases. In addition, this type of platform will allow you to visualize relationships between your systems over time so as not just look at what happens today but also how things were in the past.
Data Lineage provides data architects with a complete picture of the enterprise’s data assets
Data lineage provides data architects with a complete picture of the enterprise’s data assets. It gives context to their work and helps them troubleshoot and remediate issues, as well as prospectively design for compliance and risk management. A comprehensive view of your organization’s data will help you understand:
-
Which datasets are connected to each other
-
The lineage of these connections (the relationship between people, systems, or applications)
-
Who owns which datasets
