<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">DESCRIPTION</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">At present a number of economic, technological,
and societal developments can be observed which, among other things, lead
to a “renaissance of data”. One example is the rise of business data
service providers such as Factual and InfoChimps who build novel business
models upon community and crowd sourcing approaches to make data available
to enterprises. A second example is the increasing volumes of structured
and unstructured data enterprises have to make sense of. The BBC has reported
on the current global data storage capacity, which exceeded 295 Exabyte
in 2007, and a 58 percent combined annual growth rate of computing capacity
over the last two decades. In early 2010, Apple sold the ten-billionth
song over its iTunes platform. Third, the capability to manage data and
data quality efficiently and effectively becomes business-critical as the
number of legal and regulatory provisions keeps increasing. The European
directive REACH requires manufacturers of chemical products to be able
to report accurate, complete, consistent, and up-to-date data on ingredients
and implications of their products and refuses access to the market if
these requirements are not met (“no data, no market”). Enterprises need
guidance and support to take the opportunities and mitigate the risks related
to this contemporary phenomenon which analyst company Gartner refers to
as the “data economy”.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Data Governance and Data Quality Management
are considered key presuppositions for enterprises in this endeavor. Data
Quality Management is an enterprise function aiming at optimizing data
quality by using methods and approaches for defining, measuring, analyzing,
improving, and controlling data quality. Data Governance is a framework
of decision-making rights and responsibilities regarding the management
and use of data, aiming at optimizing the value of data.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Recently, scholars identified a number
of important research directions for Data Governance and Data Quality Management.
Some researchers stipulate researching data quality aspects in new ways
to deliver and provide data to the end-user (e.g. linked data or distributed
architectures) and to take a broader perspective at societal or group level
(e.g. elderly people), for example. And others suggest Data Governance
research to take a business networking view.</font>
