3.5 COLLABORATION
Enterprise smart data strategy is an executive-led strategy promoting data responsiveness and qualified collaboration throughout the enterprise, and at successive levels of participation.
Since data are assets, access is subject to credentialing and privileging. The Princeton definition of credential is a “certificate: a document attesting to the truth of certain stated facts.” IT professionals work with executives to establish certificates for people in the user community, granting qualified access to and use of enterprise data.
The notion of privileging comes from the medical community, in this example, the Army medical community: “privileging—(Clinical Privileges) the process of reviewing an individual's credentials through credentials committee channels to determine the authority and responsibility to be granted to a practitioner for making independent decisions to diagnose, initiate, alter, or terminate a regimen of medical or dental care.”
We advocate applying the notion of privileging to enterprise data users such that credentialed users are permitted specific rights to manipulate, alter, or create and amend data.
