Governance 201

• Previous efforts have focused on delegative
  governance
• XML namespaces to divide up data elements among
  owners
• Ownership does not address overlaps or context
• The GXSTF uses a participative approach
• The Core must stay semantically accurate for the
  entire community
• Domain owners form tiger teams on behalf of the
  community
