− Data Governance versus People Governance
− Data Governance versus Information Governance

• What does “governed data” look like?
– Known – people know what data exists
– Understood – people know how the data is defined
– Owned – people know who is has authority
– Handled – people know how to share
– Confidence – people trust the data
– Accessible – people have access to the data
– Protected – people keep the data safe

#RWDG @RSeiner
• Definition of Information:
– Data + Metadata = Information
– Information = Unstructured Data
– Information = Records and Information Management
– Information Governance = Governance of Unstructured Data
– Information Governance = Records and Information Management
• Contexts

– Records Management – Records Governance?
Governance Definition Depends on Context

• 3 Considerations for Naming Your Governance Program
1. The Asset Being Governed
2. Understanding of Data vs. Information
3. Existing Governance

2. Understanding of Data vs. Information
– Data is the lowest level of knowledge and information is the second level.
– Data by itself alone is not significant. Information is significant by itself.
– Observations and recordings are done to obtain data, while analysis is
done to obtain information.
www.differencebetween.net
“The frequency of the use of the words data and information are very
high in our daily lives. Depending on the context the meanings and
use of these words differ. Both data and information are types of
knowledge or something used to attain knowledge. Though used
interchangeably, there are many differences between the meanings
of these two words.”
