Organize Metadata Ownership with Clarity and Confidence

Data governance often breaks down when responsibility is unclear. Who owns what? Who is allowed to make changes? Without structured accountability, governance slows down or risks being ignored altogether.

Accurity’s Domain Management solves this problem by providing a scalable way to delegate metadata stewardship across your organization. 

What Is Domain Management? 

Domain Management allows you to define specific domains, such as Finance, HR, or Risk, and assign ownership to users without creating barriers for others. 

It brings clarity and structure to your governance model by supporting: 

  • Domain Owners who manage settings and assign stewards 

  • Data Stewards who maintain and update metadata within their domain 

Accurity automatically inherits domains from datasets to structures and fields. Stewardship boundaries are always respected, with no extra overhead. 

Key Benefits 

  • Align governance with how your organization operates, whether by department, domain, or scope of responsibility 

  • Enforce access control so only assigned stewards can modify metadata objects 

  • Avoid bottlenecks since domains are visible to all users, but control stays where it should be 

  • Track coverage and ownership by instantly seeing which terms and datasets belong to which domain 

  • Support compliance with assignments and edits that are always auditable and transparent 

Why It Matters

Many metadata platforms focus only on documentation. Real-world governance needs more: delegation, accountability, and control. 

Domain Management empowers organizations to: 

  • Build clear ownership structures without slowing collaboration 

  • Prevent accidental changes to critical metadata 

  • Empower stewards with the right visibility and authority 

  • Scale governance as the organization grows 

When accountability is built in, governance becomes simpler and more effective.
