Data Governance
The Age of Innocent Data
Governance, lineage, and the social consequences of pretending columns are harmless

Wharton maps the etiquette of analytical systems, where lineage, ownership, and consent determine who may know what and when. This is a guide to catalogues, quality checks, stewardship, and the subtle scandal of a spreadsheet with no provenance.
