Data Governance is like running a COUNTRY. The DGC is Parliament (makes laws), Data Owners are Ministers (accountable for their departments), Data Stewards are Civil Servants (do the daily work), and Data Custodians are the Army (protect and maintain). Without governance, you have anarchy!
Remember: CAVTUU — Completeness, Accuracy, Validity, Timeliness, Uniqueness, Uniformity. Try: 'Can All Visitors Trust Unique Updates?' — C=Completeness, A=Accuracy, V=Validity, T=Timeliness, U=Uniqueness, U=Uniformity (Consistency). Never forget them again!
SCD Type 1 = Vandal (overwrites history). SCD Type 2 = Museum (adds new exhibit, keeps old ones with dates). SCD Type 3 = Sticky Note (adds 'previous value' column, remembers ONE change). When you need full history, you need the MUSEUM (Type 2)!
