This Recommendation describes the data processing and management (DPM) framework organized into five dimensions that are data lifecycle dimension, trust dimension, data commercialization dimension, data ecosystem dimension and data governance dimension. The DPM framework covers all applications and services for IoT and Smart Cities and communities. It provides the high-level view of the DPM capabilities required at each stage of the data lifecycle considering different inherent aspects to the data such as its source (personal data, legacy data, and public data) and external aspects that are the actions to be applied to the data following the data manipulation, sharing, security and governance requirements.
