Abstract

Abstract

Enterprises that are engaging in digital transformation need to empower an increasing number of data consumers (sometimes referred to as “data citizens”) to work with data. A prerequisite is data documentation – data assets should be inventoried and well-described to facilitate data selection by non-data experts, who need to both find and understand them. This research paper proposes a reference model for data documentation in the enterprise context. It was developed in collaboration with 25 large enterprises, following a Design Science Research process. Compared to existing metadata standards that contain flat lists of metadata attributes, the reference model organizes metadata objects in logical and physical layers and features views dedicated to usage and governance contexts. It thereby improves maintenance and consistency in data documentation, when dealing with hundreds of interdependent data resources, and allows to express inherent relationships between metadata attributes.
