; Data governance : A system of decision rights and accountabilities, responsibilities and rules for the management of the availability, usability, integrity and security of the data and information to enable coherent implementation and co-ordination of data stewardship activities as well as increase the capacity (technical or otherwise) to better control the data value chain, and the resulting regulations, policies and frameworks that provide enforcement. This includes the systems within an enterprise, organization or government that define who has authority and control over data assets and how those data assets may be used, as well as the people, processes, tools and technologies required to manage and protect data assets .<ref>Data Governance Institute.

; 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=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3">Data Management Association (DAMA) (2017).

;Data quality :The ‘quality’ of data refers to its fitness for purpose, often measured by such criteria offered below. Data quality assurance measures are used to assess and improve the quality of data. Quality assurance measures planning, implementation, and control of activities that apply quality management techniques to data (whether statistical, administrative, or otherwise) and the statistical production process, to assure data is fit for purpose, which means that it is both usable and relevant in a primary or other use-context, and meets the needs of data users. Different users may have different needs that must be balanced.

::* Many organizations – within Canada and internationally – have a set of criteria defining data quality. These often include concepts such as: ''relevance'', ''reliability,'' ''consistency'', ''credibility'', ''completeness'', ''accuracy'', ''timeliness'', ''accessibility'', ''comparability'',      ''interpretability, coherence'', and ''proportionality'', which all contribute to the data and information’s overall quality and value.<ref>European Commission (2003).
