GB/T 42450-2023Information technology - Big data - Planning of data resource (English PDF)

Foreword

This document was issued on 17 March 2023 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of the PRC and takes effect on 1 October 2023.

It is a GB/T standard: recommended rather than compulsory, but it is the text a Chinese reviewer applies when assessing a submission.

1 Scope

GB/T 42450-2023 covers data resource planning: the work an organization does to decide what data it needs to hold, and in what shape, before it builds the systems that will hold it. Clause 4 places data alongside the other resources a business plans for and ties the exercise to the objectives already written into the business plan rather than to whatever technology is at hand. Clause 5 lays out the planning process as two kinds of activity — preconfiguration, which prepares the ground the plan will stand on, and the planning activities proper — and clauses 6 and 7 describe each in turn, clause 7 reaching down into the data processing activities, collection among them, that the plan has to account for. Organizations tend to accumulate data one system at a time, each project storing what it happened to need, and the result is the same customer recorded five ways with nobody answerable for any of the five; planning the resource first is what makes a later analytics programme a piece of work rather than an excavation. Written for data managers and chief data officers, enterprise architects, and the consultants who draft data strategies.

This document describes the planning process of data resource required by an

organization to support the achievement of its business planning objectives, and

specifies activities related to data resource preconfiguration and data resource planning.

This document is suitable for guiding organizations to establish data resource planning

related documents and activities that meet their business needs.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1

data resource

Data that is viewed as a resource, used to support the achievement of an organization’s

business objectives.

NOTE: The term “business objectives” in this document refers to the objectives explicitly or

implicitly set by an organization around its business and business development areas. To achieve

4 General

Data resources are similar to other types of resources that support an organization’s

business activities. Data resource planning revolves around the objectives set in the

organization’s business plan and the characteristics of the data itself. The final product

produced by data resource planning activities is a data resource preconfiguration plan

that meets business target data requirements, that is, a data resource planning document.

The goal of data resource planning is to support organizations in realizing business

plans and objectives, taking determined business plans and objectives as input,

systematically design and carry out planning and description of each element of data

resources, and proposing normative requirements.

5 Data resource planning process

The data resource planning process within an organization is shown in Figure 1, which

mainly involves two types of activities.

a) Activities related to data resource preconfiguration:

1) Such activities include but are not limited to: inventory of the current status of

data resources, determination of data resource planning goals, and preparation

of data resource planning documents, etc.;

2) Such activities are performed to carry out data resource planning, and the goal

is to complete the data resource planning document;

3) Such activities are sequential. For a specific data resource planning task, some

activities in the process may be performed multiple times or repeatedly. For

example, the process from data resource planning goals to data resource

configuration solutions may be iterated and repeated multiple times depending

on the actual situation.

b) Data activities related to data resource planning:

1) Data processing related activities, such as data collection, data storage, data

processing, data exchange, data application, data deletion and long-term

storage;

2) Data management related activities, such as grading and classification

management, data model management, data standard management, metadata

management, master data management, data catalog management, data quality

management, data security protection and data assurance, etc.;

3) Such activities are independent. For the sequence of activities and whether to

perform all activities, this document only gives and describes the activities that

Based on the stage goals and tasks determined in the data resource planning goal

activities, combined with the current status and needs of various data resources, conduct

a data resource preconfiguration plan, that is, the preparation of data resource planning

documents. The data resource planning document includes data processing and data

management related content as well as other related factors that affect data resource

configuration, such as data architecture, technology platform, business digital

transformation, etc.

The specific writing form and content of data resource planning documents depend on

the organization’s business, technical and other management requirements.
