History of Data Governance
Data Governance is about how to control data of value. A well-known turning point in history was the publication of Luca Pacioli's Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita. This encyclopedia of mathematics of its time, had a 26 page worth of text on what we call Double-entry bookkeeping, which became a foundational literature for accounting.
According to the books[1][2] by Jane-Gleeson White, Pacioli's double entry book keeping idea influenced the development of arts, sciences, and capitalism. 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 Hamiltonian Mechanics, which is the foundational theory of both classical mechanics and quantum mechanics.
