Data governance is the process of ensuring the integrity, availability, usability, and security of an organization’s data. Due to the volume, velocity, and variety of data being ingested in data lakes, it can get challenging to develop and maintain policies and procedures to ensure data governance at scale for your data lake.

Data Swamp vs Data Lake. When you imagine a lake, it’s likely an idyllic image of a tree-ringed body of reflective water amid singing birds and dabbling ducks. I’ll take the lake, thank you very much. Many organizations have built a data lake to solve their data storage, access, and utilization challenges.

This would be straightforward task were it not for the fact that, during the digital-era, there has been an explosion of data – collected and stored everywhere – much of it poorly governed, ill-understood, and irrelevant. Further, data management activities don’t end once the AI model has been developed.
