Revision as of 07:43, 4 May 2021 by BenKoo>Benkoo
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. It clearly influenced the practice of the accounting profession, and influenced the formulation of Hamiltonian Mechanics.
