Morphology

data + management

The meaning 'the process of organizing, storing, and maintaining data' is directly and compositionally derived from 'data' (information) + 'management' (the process of organizing/controlling). This is a regular noun-noun compound following common English patterns and has clear equivalents in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Data management paints a simple picture: imagine a librarian sorting and labelling files, the data, on shelves and doing the management work of arranging and locking them so people can find files quickly and keep them safe. So, data management means 'to organize', 'to store', and 'to protect' information so it is easy to use and stays safe.
