Data Administration Interfaces

Abstract

The global responsibility for an organization's data resource, regardless of who is perceived to own it, lies with data administration (DA), whose purview includes all corporate automated and manual data resources. To meet this responsibility, DA must interact with those involved in the use of information systems both within and outside the organization.
