Data Governance is about how to control data of value. A well-known turning point in history was the publication of [[wikipedia:Luca Pacioli|Luca Pacioli]]'s [[wikipedia:Summa_de_arithmetica|Summa de arithmetica]]. This encyclopedia of mathematics of its time, had a 26 page worth of text on what we call [[wikipedia:Double-entry bookkeeping|Double-entry bookkeeping]], which became a foundational literature for [[wikipedia:accounting|accounting]].

=Accounting as the foundation of Data Governance=
According to the books<ref>J. Gleeson-White, Double Entry: How the merchants of Venice shaped the modern world--and how their invention could make or break the planet, publisher Allen & Unwin, ISBN:978-1-74175-755-2, November 2011</ref><ref>J. Gleeson-White, SIX CAPITALS, or CAN ACCOUNTANTS SAVE THE PLANET?, publisher Allen & Unwin, ISBN-10:9780393246674, February 2015</ref> by [https://www.janegleesonwhite.com/six-capitals-2020 Jane-Gleeson White], Pacioli's double entry book keeping idea influenced the development of arts, sciences, and capitalism. [[wikipedia:Double-entry bookkeeping|Double-entry bookkeeping]] as a science of data, not only influenced the practice of the accounting profession, and it had a significant impact on the the formulation of [[wikipedia:Hamiltonian Mechanics|Hamiltonian Mechanics]], which is the foundational theory of both classical mechanics and quantum mechanics.
 
Sir [[wikipedia:William_Rowan_Hamilton|William Rowan Hamilton]] wrote a paper<ref>Hamilton, S.W.R. (1837) Theory of Conjugate Functions, or Algebraic Couples: with a Preliminary and Elementary Essay on Algebra as the Science of Pure Time, Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, 17pp. 293–422.</ref> cited many many scholars to demonstrate that many ideas about complex algebraic manipulation that laid the foundation of scientific revolutions are based on the formulation of creating accountable mathematical formulation strategies through double entry book keeping. [https://www.ellerman.org David Ellerman] had a paper that explains the powers of double entry bookkeeping in sciences<ref>David Ellerman, On Double-Entry Bookkeeping: The Mathematical Treatment, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1407.1898.pdf</ref>. The notion that creating public addresses for transactions amongst different accounts has been documented as a scientific theory about Double Entry Book-keeping. This book can be found online<ref>J.C. Colt, The Science of Double Entry Book-keeping, online media:https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/56693696.pdf, last accessed: May 4th, 2021</ref>:
 
=Digital Governance=
Given the intellectual roots of data governance have strong linkages to mathematics and accounting, it is only after the introduction of [[wikipedia:personal computer|personal computing devices]], and later the ubiquity of [[wikipedia:Internet|Internet]] access that made data governance an idea relevant to public affairs. The argument is that many people's basic privacy and property rights maybe challenged by people who have access to data collection and deployment technologies. Imminent threats such as fake news, big brother monitoring practices, identity thefts, and crypto currency issuance are already challenging the stability of existing social fabric. These type of social debates are often related to the ideas of [[wikipedia:Digital governance|Digital governance]]. At this time, digital governance has not yet become a mature field of study, and it needs to be grounded in simple principles, so that it can be transparently practiced with local adaptations.
 
=Data Governance=
Beside the notion of digital governance, data as an asset class must be kept accountable, so that it can be evaluated, and transferred with an objective operational framework. Knowing how to organize data in formats that satisfy consistent abstraction strategies, such as [[wikipedia:URI|Universal Resource Identifier]] and [[wikipedia:URL|Universal Resource Locator]] are important starting points in this field. Earlier work in presenting a way to govern data properties in [[wikipedia:Hyperlink|hyperlinked media]] can be traced back to [[wikipedia:Project Xanadu|Project Xanadu]] by [[wikipedia:Ted Nelson|Ted Nelson]].
 
More recent more publications in this fields are [[wikipedia:Lawrence Lessig|Lessig]]'s [https://lessig.org/product/codev2 Code v2]<ref>L. Lessig, Code: And Other Laws of Cyberspace, Version 2.0, Publisher: Basic Books, 2nd Revised edition, December 2006</ref> and soon to be published work of [[wikipedia:Alex Pentland|Alex Pentland]]'s [https://wip.mitpress.mit.edu/new-economy Building the New Economy]<ref>Alex Pentland, Alexander Lipton, and Thomas Hardjono, Building the New Economy, MIT Press, Work in Progress, https://wip.mitpress.mit.edu/new-economy</ref>.
