How Data Discovery Works
Discovering data on the BDP platform involves understanding the DSA process and its implications for data governance. Users initiate requests or investigations through defined procedures, ensuring transparency and compliance.
Key Roles in Data Discovery
- Trustee: Oversees categorized data domains.
- Steward: Manages specific data domains.
- Business Expert: Acts as a liaison for data needs within departments.
Data Sharing Agreements (DSA)
A Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) is a formal contract outlining access to proprietary information on the BDP platform. It specifies what data is accessible, permitted uses, authorized users, and the duration of access. When you’re ready to request BDP data, you’ll need to submit a DSA request.
