The important implications of the Key Activities of the Data Lifecycle from the Data Management Book of Knowledge are:

* Creation and usage are the most critical points in the data lifecycle

* It takes Metadata to manage data.
* It takes planning to manage data.
* Data management is cross-functional; it requires a range of skills and expertise.
* Data management requires an enterprise perspective.
* Data management must account for a range of perspectives.
* Data management is lifecycle management.
* Different types of data have different lifecycle characteristics.

The DAMA Wheel defines the Data Management Knowledge Areas. It places data governance at the center of data management activities, since governance is required for consistency within and balance between the functions. The other Knowledge Areas (Data Architecture, Data Modeling, etc.) are balanced around the Wheel. They are all necessary parts of a mature data management function, but they may be implemented at different times, depending upon the requirements of the organization. These Knowledge Areas are the focus of Chapters 3 - 13 of the DMBoK 2nd Edition.
