Semantic Web technologies can strengthen data governance and stewardship by improving how organizations understand and connect their data. Rather than focusing only on big data platforms, it emphasizes that shared meaning and integration are the real challenges. Using open standards like RDF and OWL, data and metadata can be represented as linked, machine-readable information. This enables better data discovery, stewardship, and governance oversight while reducing reliance on costly, rigid integration tools. Semantic technologies help organizations manage data as a governed, connected enterprise asset.
