Use of Data Responsibilities
Assigning responsible persons to data that flows within an organization offers several advantages:
Track the progress of data design. See Data Validation Workflow.
Communicate and collaborate on data: requests to update or validate data can be sent to the designated managers. They then receive a notification and follow their tasks in HOPEX. See Accessing Notifications.
Ensure data traceability. See Data Lineages.
Evaluate the data, directly as an expert, or through an evaluation campaign, followed by action plans if necessary. See Data Quality.
For this purpose, HOPEX Data Governance and HOPEX Information Architecture offer different default roles, such as Data Owner or Data Quality Manager.
Roles Applicable to Data
Chief Data Officer (DCO): responsible for data and its governance.
Data Owner: this is the authority who decides on data access and use. The data owner can be the data designer, one of its users or a third party. The owner of the data may be the designer of the data, one of its users or a third party.
Data stewards can ask data owners to check or complete the value of a field, for example to correct a data quality defect.
Data Designer: the person responsible for designing an object (such as a package, data domain, database, etc.).
Data Engineer: builds and maintains the tools and the infrastructures necessary for the analysis of data by data scientists. He/she creates solutions able to process large volumes of data while guaranteeing its security. He/she is the first link in the IT chain.
Data Scientist: is responsible for bringing together the data designer (business and logical data) and the managers of the processes who use this data.
Data Quality Manager: must ensure the relevant and usefulness of the enterprise data. To do so, he/she must implement data control procedures.
Data Steward : guarantees the quality of data; this is the person who possesses the knowledge of the data and its metadata.
