Abstract
Systems and methods provide for data management and governance to enforce proper usage of data. Data is tagged with data governance metadata dictating usage of the data. Standard types of data governance metadata are set forth with each type having predefined options such that applications can share data and understand the associated data governance metadata. When data is to be used by an application, an available action is identified, and a set of data governance rules for that action is accessed. The data governance rules set forth an impact of each type of data governance metadata on the ability to perform that action. As such, the action is allowed or disallowed for the data based on the data governance metadata for the data and on the data governance rules for the action.
