**TLDR:** The enterprise framework for managing data through ownership, quality, access, usage, and control principles.

<p>Data governance is the management framework that treats data not merely as a technical asset, but as a strategic enterprise resource. Data ownership, quality accountability, access rights, standards, lifecycle control, and compliance rules all fall within this scope. Without strong governance, data initiatives may achieve short-term wins but struggle to create sustainable enterprise value. Data governance is the core mechanism that transforms data chaos into a controlled data ecosystem.</p>
