Dataruang

Dataruang is a term used to refer to the data space—both the physical and logical space where data is stored, managed, and accessed within an organization or ecosystem. It encompasses storage infrastructure, data processing capabilities, metadata and governance layers, and the interfaces used to interact with data.

It includes storage solutions (on-premises servers, cloud storage, hybrid environments), data processing pipelines (ETL/ELT, streaming), and data models, schemas, and catalogs. Metadata management and data lineage are core to dataruang, enabling discoverability and traceability.

Governance and security are central: access controls, data quality, data stewardship, privacy compliance, and data lifecycle management. Interoperability is promoted through standards, APIs, data formats, and ontologies to allow data to be shared across systems and organizations.

In Indonesia and similar contexts, dataruang is used to describe both internal data platforms and cross-institution data spaces that enable data sharing for governance, public services, research, and industry. Examples include analytics platforms for government agencies, financial service data ecosystems, or collaborative research data spaces.

Challenges include data silos, inconsistent data quality, regulatory constraints, and ensuring security. Effective dataruang requires clear governance, metadata discipline, scalable infrastructure, and alignment with organizational strategy. The term is often tied to broader ideas such as data governance, data architecture, and data sharing ecosystems.
