Governance 201

• Previous efforts have focused on “delegative governance”– XML namespaces to divide up data elements among

“owners”– Ownership does not address overlaps or context

• The GXSTF uses a “participative” approach– The Core must stay semantically accurate for the entire

community– Domain owners form tiger teams on behalf of the

community
