Data governance: Organizing data for trustworthy Artificial Intelligence
Open accessAbstract
The rise of Big, Open and Linked Data (BOLD) enables Big Data Algorithmic Systems (BDAS) which are often based on machine learning, neural networks and other forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As such systems are increasingly requested to make decisions that are consequential to individuals, communities and society at large, their failures cannot be tolerated, and they are subject to stringent regulatory and ethical requirements. However, they all rely on data which is not only big, open and linked but varied, dynamic and streamed at high speeds in real-time. Managing such data is challenging. To overcome such challenges and utilize opportunities for BDAS, organizations are increasingly developing advanced data governance capabilities. This paper reviews challenges and approaches to data governance for such systems, and proposes a framework for data governance for trustworthy BDAS. The framework promotes the stewardship of data, processes and algorithms, the controlled opening of data and algorithms to enable external scrutiny, trusted information sharing within and between organizations, risk-based governance, system-level controls, and data control through shared ownership and self-sovereign identities. The framework is based on 13 design principles and is proposed incrementally, for a single organization and multiple networked organizations.

In information sharing, traditional trusted third parties (TTPs) that use certificates to provide non-repudiation services are being replaced with distributed ledger or blockchain technology (DLT).
“In information sharing, traditional trusted third parties (TTPs) that use certificates to provide non-repudiation services, are being replaced with distributed ledger or blockchain technology (DLT) (Dunphy & Petitcolas, 2018;Ølnes, Ubacht, & Janssen, 2017).”
Quote in the paperNot a substantial claim1 of 2 sources checked- cites Dunphy & Petitcolas, 2018 source
The Introduction describes DLT as operating without a central authority to validate ledger transactions, and §6.2 discusses sharing identity attributes certified by third parties. But §6.1 says the schemes reshape rather than eradicate intermediaries. The paper does not establish that certificate-based trusted third parties providing non-repudiation services are being replaced in information sharing. (LLM, conf=0.84)

Collaboration and sharing of data between government departments help develop better models.
“Collaboration and sharing of data between government departments (Alexopoulos et al., 2019;Janssen, Brous, et al., 2020) help develop better models.”
From AI adoption and diffusion in public administration: A systematic literature review and future research agenda (2023) · cites this paper as Janssen, Brous, et al., 2020
Section 4.3, “Trusted data sharing framework” (page unavailable), discusses data exchange between organizations to support AI-based systems. Section 2, “Data governance” (page unavailable), says fragmented data and uncertain quality can undermine those systems, but does not say that collaboration and sharing between government departments develop better models. (LLM, conf=0.79)

From AI adoption and diffusion in public administration: A systematic literature review and future research agenda (2023) · cites this paper as Janssen, Brous, et al., 2020
Section 4.1 says that bias embedded in historical training data can be reflected in an algorithm’s operation. Section 3 also identifies data-embedded discrimination as an AI risk. Neither passage establishes that this is a cost of achieving accuracy, as the claim’s tradeoff framing suggests; no page numbers were provided. (LLM, conf=0.84)

Section 4.2 supports data stewardship and separation of responsibilities as ways to formalize accountability and prevent any one entity from controlling data. Section 4.1 also calls for system-level accountability in automated public decisions. The copy does not present these principles as elements of a legal framework or say they define how authority is delegated between humans and machines. (LLM, conf=0.85)

The Introduction defines data governance as rules and authorities for managing data within and across organizations, and Section 5 says its principles can contribute to trustworthy systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-11.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-11.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
