published an opinion on digital ethics highlighting the
"engineering, philosophical, legal, and moral implications" of
developments in data processing and Big Data. It called
for a focus on data processing that upholds human dignity, and
set out four pillars required for an information
ecosystem that ensures ethical treatment of data. The four
pillars are answer choices B through E (ch. 2, section 3.1
Ethical Principles for Data, p. 52).
3 Within the Data Governance framework, which component

b. Processes
c. Communication
d. Data
e. Tools

of data quality, security, and compliance, and ensure that
individuals are trained to follow the established processes
(ch. 3, section 2.9 Engage Change Management, p. 85
8. Which type of metadata focuses on the content and condition of
data and includes details related to Data
Governance?
a. Technical Metadata
b. Operational Metadata
c. Structural Metadata
d. Business Metadata
e. Rights Metadata
Ans: d. Business Metadata
Topic: Metadata Management
Explanation: Business Metadata includes the non-technical
