How do we implement versioning and governance for datasets?

Garbage in, garbage out.
George Fuechsel

How It Works:

Use data version control (DVC) or similar tools to track changes, tag releases, and manage metadata; enforce access controls and data-usage policies via a centralized catalog.

Key Benefits:

  • Traceability: Know exactly which data version trained each model.
  • Collaboration: Teams share and reproduce datasets reliably.
  • Compliance: Enforce retention and deletion policies.

Real-World Use Cases:

  • Clinical trials: Immutable data tracking for regulatory audits.
  • Financial forecasting: Version-controlled time-series data.
