The digital transformation of the Brazilian Judiciary has shifted the production of procedural documents from paper-based to data-driven environments, metadata, interoperable systems, and automation. This research aims to analyze the informational requirements of Data Governance applicable to the Electronic Judicial Process, considering its effects on information and knowledge management, information integrity, the organization of legal data, transparency, auditability, and institutional learning. The research is qualitative, exploratory, descriptive, bibliographic, and documentary, with an analytical-interpretative orientation. The corpus includes literature on legal data, data governance, algorithmic governance, digital sovereignty, the social function of data, information and knowledge management, and institutional documents of digital justice. The analysis was conducted through analytical reading and thematic classification into six dimensions: legal data and typology; metadata, provenance, and representation; information quality and integrity; algorithmic governance, transparency, and auditability; digital sovereignty, public interest, and the social function of data; and information and knowledge management and organizational memory. The results indicate that structured text can enhance retrieval, interoperability, automation, and artificial intelligence, provided it is accompanied by data policies, metadata standards, version control, traceability, institutional responsibilities, and document preservation. It is concluded that judicial modernization should be treated as a Data Governance project focused on public trust, legal certainty, transparency, and institutional learning.
