Problem

Data Intermediary Teams need to deliver high-quality, timely data when establishing system-to-system data sharing to support WOG use cases.

ⓘ Data Intermediary Teams are designated units within agencies that manage data requests, serving as a bridge between data consumers and the system teams that maintain and provide the data.

But they...

  • Cannot enforce and ensure data quality upstream

  • Have limited knowledge and resources

  • Overwhelmed on requests and requirements

Which inevitably, leads to...

  • Bad data, impacting Citizens lives and eroding trust in the government

  • Becoming more wary of data requests and changes

  • Erroneous impact analysis and waste resources on duplicative efforts

Solution

A WOG platform that streamlines data contract creation through its AI Assist™ capability and offers ready-to-use contract templates aligned with SG-DRM standards. By simplifying the contract development process, dataPact helps teams establish data agreements more efficiently and with less effort.

  • Create & negotiate on data contracts controlled by data quality rules with approval flow baked in.
  • Define or reuse data validation logics that can be shared with others seamlessly.
  • Trusted independent 3rd Party Service to monitor and validate data.
  • Version control on data contracts that trigger alerts when a change is drafted

Which creates value by:

  • Standardising data governance & quality assurance
  • Eliminating duplicate work & foster sharing
  • Creating feedback loops & audit trails to better improve data
  • Providing more efficient impact analysis & response measures

ⓘ Data Contracts are a set of rules that programmatically explain what data to expect, agreed between the data provider and data consumer. It explains three main things: what the data means, how good the quality should be, and how secure it needs to be. Find out more

Future Steps

Looking ahead:

  • We plan to work with a key agency or data product team, to iterate the platform features and sharpen view of market demand.

  • We plan to harmonise the view of market demand and product features with the Govtech Data Strategy and complement the existing suite of central data platforms

To do so, we desire:

  • Funding to develop the product.

  • Dedicated resources.

  • Support of key partner agency in scale-out.
