What is Data Governance Framework?

Definition

A data governance framework defines clear rules, standards, ownership, and processes for managing product information. It ensures accuracy, compliance, and controlled access across the organisation. PIM systems rely on governance frameworks to maintain consistent product quality.

A framework defines decision rights, standards, responsibilities, and escalation processes. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take a proposed change to a safety-related product attribute, apply the organization's ownership and approval policies, and record the accountable decision before releasing the change.
