An Ontological-Based Model to Data Governance for Big Data

Abstract

Nowadays, companies and official bodies are using the data as a principal asset to take strategic decision. The advances in big data processing, storage and analysis techniques have allowed to manage the continuous increase in the volume of data. This increase in the volume of data together with its high variability and the large number of sources lead to a constant growing of the complexity of the data management environment. Data governance is the key for simplifying that complexity: it is the element that controls the decision making and responsibilities for all the processes related to data management. This paper discusses an approach to data governance based on ontological reasoning to reduce data management complexity. The proposed data governance system is built over an autonomous system based on distributed components. It uses semantic techniques and automatic ontology-based reasoning, with the different component using a Shared Knowledge Plane to interact. Its fundamental piece is an ontology that represents all the data management processes included in data governance. A prototype of such a system has been implemented and tested for Telefonica´s global video service. The results obtained show the feasibility of using this type of technology to reduce the complexity of managing big data environments.INDEX TERMS Big data, data governance, knowledge-based management, ontologies, reasoning, OWL, SWRL.

Unpacking Smart Campus Assessment: Developing a Framework via Narrative Literature Review

“…In addition, existing data stewardship frameworks do not involve users in data security to promote participatory innovation in data governance. A collaborative implementation is created by involving all stakeholders [147]. Finally, an operational and automation framework with data lake architecture comprising a landing, formatted zones, and metadata artifacts is required.…”

Construction of Rural Governance Digital Driven by Artificial Intelligence and Big Data

“…e proposed reference framework improves the performance and reliability of industry 4.0. Castro et al [17] proposed a new ontology-based data governance model for the big data analysis process. Distributed component-based autonomous system is presented for data governance.…”

Framework to develop an open‐source forage data network to improve primary productivity and enhance system resiliency

“…Most data are expected to be static, being manually entered into spreadsheets with little real‐time acquisition of data streaming into the hub. Unlike GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/), data variety are anticipated to be high including soil, plant, animal, and environmental information (Castro et al., 2021). Authors anticipated granularity to vary, with plot‐level data being common and most flexible regarding re‐purposing, but also accommodated curation of treatment mean data with estimates of variance (e.g., standard error, standard deviation, and least significant difference).…”
