Data governance - Concept
Data product
Data deliberately packaged, owned and maintained so other people or systems can use it
What's it for?
Makes a useful set of data easy for other people or systems to understand and use reliably.
For example…
The customer team publishes a curated customer dataset with an owner, documentation, quality checks and a reliable refresh schedule as a data product
A fraud team gets a reliable, ready-to-use set of payments information without having to ask engineers for a new spreadsheet every time
