Scope:

Note: CIO Strategy Council announced an organizational name change to the Digital Governance Council (DGC), effective January 30, 2023 and the creation of a new standards development division, Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI). This proposed standard aims to specify implementation methods for zero copy integration, sharing and exchange of data. This Standard applies to all sectors, including public and private companies, government entities, and not-for-profit organizations.

Project need:

Applications require data, and often require the exchange of this data to effectively operate and communicate with a myriad of other technologies. That integration requires the duplication of data, and this means that hundreds, even thousands of copies of datasets (including customer profile details and transaction data) now circulate within organizations. The proliferation of applications and the increased fragmentation of data makes it difficult for organizations to have a clear picture of where their data is and how it is being used. This is of increasingly important concern as both domestic and global initiatives are seeking to develop new legal and regulatory frameworks for establishing data ownership rights for private citizens and businesses.

The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.
