The Data Fabric’s governance applied

The data life cycle is typically represented by the journey data takes from when it comes into existence to the point at which it is destroyed. As this applies to the Data Governance layer in a Data Fabric architecture, certain specific steps and considerations are taken. Each of the actions taken respects the Data Fabric principles as part of the overall architecture. Figure 7.6 represents the logical data life cycle phases in which Data Governance must be applied. Data won’t always flow across every phase. However, the Data Governance layer must account for every phase with the necessary capabilities to ensure it is properly protected and secured.

Note

The life cycle of data can be represented in different ways with various points of view depending on the scope and objectives. There isn’t one standard, as all have their own level of focus. Some might...
