Certificate in Business Data Analytics (CBDA) — Question 60

The definition of data elements is different across various data sources. The organization is looking to improve the usability of data across the organization.
Which practice would help address this problem?

Answer options

• A. Data governance
• B. Data quality
• C. Data ethics
• D. Data architecture

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Data governance establishes policies and standards for managing data across the organization, ensuring consistency in data definitions. While data quality focuses on the accuracy and reliability of data, and data ethics deals with the moral implications of data use, they do not specifically address the issue of harmonizing data definitions. Data architecture pertains to the structure of data systems, which is important but does not directly improve usability across varying definitions.
