Data Lifecycle

To ensure quality data, you need to manage data throughout its lifecycle. In this guidebook, we reference the data lifecycle below [1]. This guidebook supports the "Plan and Define" phase.

• Plan and Define. How you define the purpose, needs and requirements of the data. How you define the data model and supporting policies and processes.

• Obtain. How you create, collect or get the data.

• Maintain. How you store, change and track the data.

• Access and Use. How you share the data. How people use the data.

• Dispose. How you delete the data.
