Data value chain

  • Assessment
  • Implementation
  • Monitoring & Evaluation
  • Data value chain or data life cycle
The process of data creation and use from first identifying a need for data to its final use and possible reuse. The data value chain has four major stages: collection, publication, uptake, and impact. These four stages are further separated into twelve steps: identify, collect, process, analyze, release, disseminate, connect, incentivize, influence, use, change, and reuse.
