What is Data Stewardship?
The accountability for managing data quality, compliance, and lifecycle within a specific domain.
Data stewardship is the practice of assigning specific individuals or teams accountability for the quality, integrity, and proper use of data within their domain. Data stewards bridge the gap between business users (who understand the data's context and meaning) and technical teams (who manage the infrastructure). They define business rules, resolve data quality issues, approve access requests, and ensure compliance with governance policies.
