Governance architecture · Cannabis
A shared architecture for governing scientific, operational, and institutional data without separating quality, responsibility, privacy, and interpretation.
Start here · Governance architecture
AromaCann organizes governance as a connected system. Data governance provides the common foundation; specialized domains add controls appropriate to their objects, risks, and decision contexts.
Quality, metadata, provenance, access, privacy, lifecycle, and accountable reuse.
SPECIALIZED DOMAINTraining data, model purpose, validation, bias, robustness, transparency, monitoring, and human accountability.
APPLICATIONSResearch, bioinformatics, production, public health, market intelligence, and knowledge products.
SECTOR PATHWAYSensitive data, continuity of care, traceability, providers, incidents, and institutional memory.
01 · Essential concepts
Data crosses research, cultivation, production, quality, dispensing, patient support, technology, and institutional management. Its value depends on knowing where it came from, why it exists, who is responsible, and which conclusions it can support.
AromaCann provides the governance vocabulary and operating principles behind Kannabium. It treats quality, privacy, continuity, provenance, and accountable reuse as parts of the same information lifecycle.
Data are observations, measurements, classifications, signals, or records represented in a form that can be stored, communicated, and analyzed. Without context, a value is only a symbol; metadata, method, unit, time, and provenance allow it to acquire meaning.
Data governance is the coordinated system of principles, roles, rules, standards, and controls that determines how data is created, described, protected, accessed, used, shared, retained, reviewed, and discarded throughout its lifecycle.
In science, governance preserves protocols, variables, versions, quality criteria, analytical transformations, uncertainty, and links between results and sources. It strengthens reproducibility, validation, responsible reuse, and the distinction between observation, inference, and conclusion.
One Health integrates the health of people, animals, plants, and ecosystems. Its questions cross institutions and disciplines; governed data makes definitions, access conditions, privacy safeguards, spatial and temporal scales, and interoperability visible without erasing the context of each domain.

02 · Governance layers
Identify origin, authority, collection method, date, and terms of access.
Use stable identifiers, controlled names, schemas, and contextual descriptions.
Record completeness, consistency, uncertainty, review, and corrective actions.
Align permissions, purpose, minimum exposure, and accountability.
Preserve transformations, responsible parties, timestamps, and integrity.
Separate observation, support, interpretation, hypothesis, and recommendation.
Define what remains, for how long, under whose authority, and how it is removed.
03 · Data lifecycle
Purpose and source.
Identity and context.
Quality and uncertainty.
Authorized application.
Terms and recipients.
Currency and correction.
Preservation or disposal.
04 · Applied governance
Reproducible datasets, identifiers, methods, evidence classes, and analytical limits.
Materials, batches, assays, transformations, quality records, and custody.
Definitions, reporting periods, institutional sources, aggregation, and privacy.
Sensitive records, care continuity, dispensing, providers, and incident response.
Source date, jurisdiction, descriptive scope, comparability, and update cycles.
Training data, labels, validation, error, reproducibility, and model reuse.
05 · Special pathway
Patient organizations connect health records, prescriptions, support, cultivation, production, quality, inventory, dispensing, contracts, and institutional relationships. Governance helps protect people while preserving the continuity and accountability of the service.
This bilingual pathway retains the visual identity and governance architecture of AromaCann.
06 · Operating model
Defines principles, vocabulary, responsibilities, quality criteria, and lifecycle controls.
Turns governance requirements into data structures, interfaces, workflows, and reproducible systems.
Examines evidence, provenance, semantic consistency, limitations, and publication readiness.
