Data Management Criterion
Discussion
A Data Management Criterion establishes a measurable condition used to determine whether Data Management satisfies a specified Requirement.
A Data Management Criterion may address the identification, Classification, Structure, Semantics, validity, access, Integrity, Version, retention, disposition, transfer, transformation, Provenance, or Traceability of 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.

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.
Applicable Requirements, Policies, Constraints, profiles, Baselines, or decisions of an Authority establish the criterion and its governing status.
Example
A Data Management Criterion requires every Test Result retained as Evidence to preserve its originating Test Run identifier and content hash.
