Skill Hub — Foundation
Framework Map
How major enterprise frameworks map to practical work skills. This is not a framework summary. It is a routing map: when you encounter a framework concept, here is the skill that turns it into action.
DAMA-DMBOK
The DAMA-DMBOK wheel covers data management knowledge areas. In Skill Hub, these become operational skills:
| DAMA-DMBOK area | Skill Hub skill | What the skill does |
|---|---|---|
| Data Governance | Data Governance Working Skill | Diagnose missing ownership and turn it into a governance action plan. |
| Data Quality | Data Quality Root Cause Working Skill | Find why bad data exists, where it entered, and how to prevent recurrence. |
| Metadata Management | Metadata Management Working Skill | Decide what metadata to capture, where to store it, and how to keep it current. |
| Master Data Management | Master Data Management Working Skill | Decide which system creates, changes, and distributes master data; detect duplicates. |

How to use this map
- When someone mentions a framework concept ("We need data governance"), find the concept in the map.
- Open the corresponding Skill Hub skill.
- Follow the working method to produce an artifact, not a definition.
- Use the decision rules to avoid generic recommendations.
- Record the outcome in the appropriate template.
This map is not exhaustive. It covers the most common framework-to-skill mappings. If a framework area is missing, treat it as a gap and use the Gap Analysis Working Skill to decide whether to add it.
Verification status and limitations
This is a public working interpretation. It is not endorsed by DAMA International, IIBA, The Open Group, or SAP. Framework editions change; skills may need updating when frameworks are revised. The map focuses on practical skills, not comprehensive framework coverage. Some framework areas have no corresponding skill yet.
