Where is the role of the Regulator in the Data CHAIN?
The role of the regulator within the Data CHAIN is very important. It is foreseen that the regulator will act as the controlling body, ensuring that all actors involved meet their requirements for data management. More specifically, the regulator may, for instance, provide the oversight management for agreements such as SLAs. Another important role for the regulator is that of data approver. In the majority of States, the regulator has the responsibility of approving information before provision to the AIS. In some cases, the final publication must also be released through the regulator.
