Systems and methods for generating data having a sustainable quality

A method for generating data having a sustainable quality, comprising:

• determining, by a computer program executed by an electronic device, an identification of a data quality owner for a data element of a data to be produced, wherein the identification includes:
• determining a number of functions from a number of downstream systems that use the data;
• identifying each downstream system;
• determining a data type from the data element, wherein the data type is one or more of:
• a fact, a functional classification, a regulatory classification, a transactional data, and an analytical data;
• and
• selecting the identified downstream system as the data quality owner based on a use of the identified downstream system and the data type;
• determining, by the computer program, an identification of a data consumer of the data to be produced by accessing a message from the data consumer's application as a result of the data element being used;
• determining, by the computer program, a design for a data product by differentiating a data container of the data element from a data content of the data element and then defining a field using a description of the data content, a label for the field, and a value in the field;
• determining a process for producing the data including a preventative control and a detective control;
• receiving, by the computer program, a process for distributing the data;
• producing, by the computer program, the data according to the design and the process for producing the data;
• distributing, by the computer program, the data according to the process for distributing the data;
• receiving, by the computer program, feedback on the data;
• and
• updating, by the computer program, the design and the process for producing the data based on the feedback.
