====== Data Management Activity ====== [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go to Terms and Definitions]] ===== Discussion ===== A Data Management Activity is a coordinated set of actions performed to govern or handle [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:managed_data|Managed Data]]. It provides the organizing context that relates the Managed Data, applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:data_management_criterion|Data Management Criteria]], governing Requirements, actors, actions, and resulting [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:data_management_outcome|Data Management Outcome]]. A Data Management Activity may identify, classify, validate, access, preserve, version, retain, dispose of, transfer, transform, or record Managed Data. The applicable Requirements, Policies, Constraints, Baselines, profiles, and decisions of an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:authority|Authority]] determine which actions apply. A Data Management Activity remains distinct from an individual operation performed upon Data. The activity provides the governed context in which one or more operations occur. ===== Definition ===== //coordinated set of actions performed to govern or handle managed data// ===== Source ===== Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc., derived for DIDO-TE and informed by ISO/IEC 11179 metadata-management principles and the data-lifecycle concept in NIST SP 800-188 ===== Note ===== A Data Management Activity may complete successfully, fail, stop before completion, be suspended, be canceled, or be reversed. Each completion or termination produces a Data Management Outcome. A Data Management Activity may contain subordinate activities or actions and may involve multiple actors, Nodes, repositories, services, communication endpoints, or execution environments. ===== Example ===== A Data Management Activity validates a set of Test Inputs against its applicable Structure, records the validation result, and produces a Data Management Outcome indicating whether the inputs were accepted or rejected. ---- © 2026 Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc.
