Wrong statement!
[edit]The statement "While data can exist as such, 'information' and 'knowledge' are always in the "eye" (or rather the brain) of the beholder and can only be measured in relative units." is not correct:
Data comes about through research, creation, gathering, and discovery. Information has context. Data is turned into information by … - organizing it so that we can easily draw conclusions - "presenting" it, such as making it visual or auditory (see Clark D. (2004), The Continuum of Understanding; retrieved January 30, 2009, from http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/performance/understanding.html) So the happening that data becomes information is not happening in the brain of someone... data becomes information as soon as it is visualized in a meaningfull way! But the knowledge which can be gathered by someone from this information is happening in the brain. Jogi, 04 February 2009
No owner of this concept
[edit]This article accumulates name-drops of various organizations. "Data management" is a general concept and practice which no one owns. No organization should get a top billing for controlling this concept when every organization does it and there is no single authority.
I moved all the organization name drops and product offerings to the bottom and in its own section. These names could even be deleted for lack of reliable sources or at least moved to their own list article but for now I am pushing them down. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:53, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Enterprise Data Management
[edit]I propose merging Enterprise Data Management into Data management. The content overlaps significantly, and Enterprise Data Management may be better treated as a subtopic within the broader article. This would improve cohesion and reduce redundancy. Comments welcome.
