Abstract:

The concept of “asset” often carries three layers of meaning in practical use, with each layer adding specific conditions. The concept of “data asset” originated from an emphasis on the potential value of data and has gradually evolved into a specialized term in China, becoming a key part of promoting the market-oriented allocation reform of data factor. The process of data assetization can be correspondingly divided into three stages, each with varying degrees of implementation difficulty, and it is not necessary to pursue a one-time complete data assetization. At present, most entities in China have not yet met the conditions required for the first and second stages of data assetization, and there is still a need to consolidate foundations, stabilize expectations, and continue to deepen the exploration of data assetization.

Key words: asset, data asset, data assetization
