Data Standards
Data standards provide consistent meaning to data shared among different information systems, programs, and departments throughout a product’s lifecycle. Data standards are part of any good enterprise architecture. Data standards make data much easier to use. For example, say that you get a new 850-lumen flashlight that requires two AA batteries. You don’t need to worry about what brand of batteries to buy as all AA batteries are manufactured to the same size and voltage standards.
