This viewpoint describes which concepts are used for modeling data ownership. Data ownership and stewardship are important aspects of after-management. In the viewpoint, use is made of four ArchiMate concepts, three on the business layer and one on the application layer. It is important that for the ownership a number of associations have been extended on the basis of a RACI classification. These can be displayed in a RACI matrix.

Data owner is the one who decides on the data as it is applied within business objects. The data owner makes decisions about the data quality, the security aspects, but also about the structure of the data within a business object.

Is the person who is delegated by the data owner to take over certain responsibilities and tasks of the owner. These tasks are often at a more detailed level, hence the link with data objects within ArchiMate instead of Business objects

General understanding of a person or organization within or outside the modeling domain that influences the data, for example in the role of user, steward or owner.

Is an ArchiMate concept that is used to visualize the different links between the business objects at the business level. That is actually building a so-called business glossary. In addition, these entities can be used to visualize the links with other concepts within ArchiMate. For example, the links to business processes, functions and services are examples of this.

Data object is an ArchiMate concept that on the one hand can be linked to a number of ArchiMate concepts so that aspects such as quality, requirements. But also where is the dataset used and by whom, which application has a relation with this dataset etc. If necessary, you could link to the infrastructure from the data object. At this moment, this is not yet chosen in this example. As soon as there is a need in the community for this, this will be worked out further
