Datastandardeja

Datastandardeja is a term used in information technology and data governance to denote a collection of standardized data specifications that enable consistent representation, validation, and exchange of information across applications, organizations, or jurisdictions. A datastandardeja typically covers data models or schemas, metadata schemas, naming conventions, identifiers, validation rules, and the formats or protocols used for data exchange. The concept emphasizes interoperability, data quality, and the ability to integrate information from diverse sources.

Development and maintenance are usually carried out by formal or semi-formal bodies such as standards organizations, industry consortia, or cross-border partnerships. Standards may be open for public comment and revision, or proprietary within a vendor ecosystem. Conformance is demonstrated through documentation, validation tools, and, where applicable, certification schemes. Governance practices often include versioning, deprecation policies, and impact assessments for changes.

In practice, datastandardeja guide API design, data integration, data warehousing, master data management, and data catalogs. They support data quality, interoperability, regulatory compliance, and the ability to combine data from different sources without bespoke adapters. Implementation typically involves mapping local data elements to standard models, enforcing schema validation, and using standard exchange formats and protocols.

Examples of well-known data standards that influence datastandardeja include JSON Schema and XML Schema for data structure validation; RDF, JSON-LD, and XML for semantic interoperability; and domain-specific standards such as HL7 FHIR in healthcare or ISO/IEC 11179 for data element naming and registration. The term itself is used variably across languages and contexts.
