, 2023The fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, represents a new stage of evolution in the organization, management and control of the value chain throughout the product or service life cycle. This is mainly based on the digi-talization of the industrial environment by means of the convergence of In-formation Technologies (IT) and operational Technologies (OT) through cyber-physical systems and the Industrial IoT (IIoT) and the use of data gen-erated in real time for gaining insights and making decisions. Therefore, data becomes a critical asset for Industry 4.0 and must be managed and governed like a strategic asset. We rely on Data Governance (DG) as a key instrument for carrying out this transformation. This paper presents the design of a spe-cific governance frame-work for Industry 4.0. First, this contextualizes data governance for Industry 4.0 environments and identifies the requirements that this framework must address, which are conditioned by the specific fea-tures of Industry 4.0, among others, the intensive use of big data, the cloud and edge computing, the artificial intelligence and the current regulations. Next, we formally define a reference framework for the implementation of Data Governance Systems for Industry 4.0 using interna-tional standards and providing several examples of architecture building blocks.
