Data Management Frameworks
DAMA-DMBOK2
Data Management Body of Knowledge, 2nd Edition
The reference body of knowledge for enterprise data management, organised around eleven knowledge areas: governance, architecture, modelling, storage, security, integration, reference and master data, warehousing, metadata, quality, and document management.
It is not a certifiable standard and prescribes no controls. Its value under regulatory pressure is the shared vocabulary: when an auditor asks who owns a data set and how its quality is measured, DMBOK gives you the roles and processes to point at.
