====== Data Management Criterion ====== [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go to Terms and Definitions]] ===== Discussion ===== A Data Management Criterion establishes a measurable condition used to determine whether [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:data_management|Data Management]] satisfies a specified [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirement]]. A Data Management Criterion may address the identification, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:classification|Classification]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:structure|Structure]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:s:semantic|Semantics]], validity, access, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:integrity|Integrity]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:version|Version]], retention, disposition, transfer, transformation, [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provenance|Provenance]], or [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] of [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:managed_data|Managed Data]]. A criterion identifies the condition to be evaluated. It does not itself perform a Data Management Activity or determine which criterion has governing authority. ===== Definition ===== //measurable condition used to determine whether data management satisfies a specified requirement// ===== Source ===== Dido Solutions, Inc. and Jackrabbit Consulting, Inc., derived for DIDO-TE and informed by ISO/IEC 25012 data-quality concepts and ISO/IEC 11179 metadata principles ===== Note ===== A Data Management Criterion identifies the applicable subject, measure or observable condition, expected value or state, evaluation method, and conditions under which evaluation occurs.
