Figure 4.4 Everywhere.you.go.in.your.community.there.are.owners.
of.data.
discussed.earlier..If.you.have.a.need.to.access.that.data.you.
will.have.to.understand.who.owns.the.data.in.order.to.do.so.
Let's.consider.some.of.these.examples.
Start. with. your. workplace,. as. that. is. where. most. of. us.
spend.the.majority.of.our.time..When.you.walk.in.you.cre-
ate.a.record.if.you.need.to.go.through.some.type.of.security.
access.or.punch.a.time.clock.or.simply.log-in.to.your.com-
puter..All.of.those.could.be.relevant.and.important.records..
If.you.need.to.access.the.record.of.your.entering.the.ofice.
through.a.secured.door,.who.would.you.contact?
What.about.if.you.wanted.to.know.what.time.you.logged.
in.each.day.or.look.at.your.punch.in.time.records?
In.our.organization,.the.facilities.department.keeps.records.
of. all. of. the. ingress. and. egress. through. secured. doors.. If. I.
wanted.to.know.when.I.or.someone.else.had.come.into.the.
building,. I. would. contact. the. administrator. of. those. access.
systems.and.ask.for.a.report..In.some.cases.that.might.just.
require.me.to.know.the.name.and.contact.information.of.that.
person..But.in.other.organizational.structures.there.might.be.a.
formal.process.for.requesting.and.receiving.that.information.
If.I.wanted.to.see.time.card.information.I.would.contact.
someone.in.the.human.resources.department,.as.they.are.the.
keepers.of.that.data..For.logon/logoff.activities.I.would.need.
to.connect.with.someone.in.the.desktop.support.division.
