Amid the rapid evolution of modern data governance,the"use rights paradigm"has e-merged as a standout among various data governance frameworks,marking a profound shift in govern-ance philosophy.Rooted in the historical trend of shifting focus"from ownership to use,"this paradigm emphasizes"data use rights"as its foundational concept.It draws on the intrinsic characteristics of data and the fundamental principles of the digital economy to construct an understanding system,guided by the methodological principles of rational allocation,circulation,and utilization of data usage rights,with the ultimate goal of maximizing the utilization of"data resources"by promoting data sharing and use.This paradigm offers methodological significance for the normative construction of foundational data gov-ernance systems,providing a unified governance framework that spans different domains and stages.It helps to avoid the risks of a"tragedy of the anti-commons"potentially triggered by polarized ownership models,while also mitigating governance fragmentation caused by"scenario-based"or"stage-based"the-ories.Furthermore,it enhances internal coherence within foundational data governance frameworks.Therefore,data governance should center on use rights,including establishing the legal status of data use rights,improving mechanisms for data circulation,instituting balanced benefit-sharing systems,and strengthening data security governance,ultimately fostering an efficient,equitable,and secure data gov-ernance system.
