Question 2

Which ACORD initiative provides a common data model and dictionary for the property-casualty insurance industry?

Accepted Answer

ACORD Property & Casualty Data Model (PCDM)

Answer

The ACORD P&C Data Model (PCDM) defines standardized entities, attributes, and relationships for property-casualty data, enabling consistent data exchange and analytics.

Question 3

What are 'data stewards' responsible for within an insurance data governance framework?

Accepted Answer

Owning and enforcing data quality rules for specific data domains

Answer

Data stewards are business subject-matter experts accountable for defining, monitoring, and enforcing data quality standards within their assigned data domain.

Question 4

Which data quality dimension measures whether a data element contains a value when one is required?

Accepted Answer

Completeness

Answer

Completeness assesses whether required fields are populated; missing values in mandatory insurance data fields (e.g., insured name, policy number) reduce completeness scores.

Question 5

In the context of ACORD data standards, what is a 'canonical data model'?

Accepted Answer

A single, authoritative data representation used to mediate between different systems and formats

Answer

A canonical data model serves as the neutral, authoritative hub format that translates between disparate source and target systems, which is the basis for ACORD's interoperability approach.
