International experts have recently concluded their review of CAN/DGSI 100-9: Data Governance – Part 9: Data Collaboration Framework, for consideration by the international community as an ISO/IEC Publicly Available Specification (PAS).
CAN/DGSI 100-9: Data Governance – Part 9: Data Collaboration Framework, outlines minimum recommendations for data collaboration and zero-copy integration. It provides clear, actionable guidance for IT leaders and decision-makers across sectors including industry, government, and non-profit organizations, looking to implement modular data governance capabilities. The standard was revised in 2024 to improve clarity, accessibility, and support broader adoption.
The digital governance standard was put forward through DGSI’s PAS Submitter designation, a recognition originally granted in 2022 by ISO/IEC JTC 1, the Joint Technical Committee on Information Technology of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and recently renewed through May 2030. This designation accelerates international recognition of Canadian-based consensus standards. As the only Canadian organization recognized as an ISO/IEC PAS Submitter worldwide, this renewal helps to shape the future of global digital governance.
