=== Data management ===

=== Data management ===

:A discipline that directs and supports effective and efficient management of information and data in an organization or public administration, from planning and systems development to disposal or long-term preservation. Data management involves the development, execution, and supervision of plans, policies, practices, concepts, programs, and the accompanying range of systems that contribute to the organizational or governmental mandates and to public good, as well as the maintenance of data processes to meet ongoing information lifecycle needs. It enables the delivery, control, protection, and enhancement of the value of data and information assets through integrated, user-based approaches. Key components of data lifecycle management include a searchable data inventory, reference and master data management, and a quality assessment framework.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":10" /><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":3">Data Management Association (DAMA) (2017).
