Data Governance at Purdue
Data governance involves the comprehensive management of data availability, usability, quality, and security. At Purdue University, data governance is supported by a collaborative data community working together to maximize the value of institutional data.
Purdue’s data governance strategy includes an executive data council and four data governance committees. These groups provide oversight and structure to data management. Their work ensures responsible use of data, effective communication, and data transparency for the campus community.
Metadata management is another critical component of our data governance strategy. Purdue utilizes Data Cookbook software for the enterprise source of data definitions, standard reports, and dashboards.
