Adopting Data Standards for Consistency

Act as a data management consultant and guide me on adopting data standards to ensure consistency across datasets. Provide a detailed plan that includes defining key data standards, steps for implementation, and strategies for enforcement. Consider aspects such as data formatting, naming conventions, validation rules, and documentation. Additionally, suggest tools and best practices for maintaining these standards over time. Tailor the advice for datasets typically used in [specific context, e.g., healthcare, finance, etc.], and include potential challenges and solutions.
