Paul, this is a fantastic breakdown of data responsibilities. I see a lot of organizations overcomplicating data ownership, stewardship, and custodianship. Your point about the fundamental responsibilities being universally the same across all organizations really resonates. It's astounding how these basic facts aren't more widely recognized.

I particularly appreciate your emphasis on business system ownership. It's a role that's often mis-implemented, but as you rightly point out, it can be a cornerstone of a data management strategy when done correctly. Making business system owners responsible for the governance of data in their systems is a game-changer.

Thanks for sharing.
