Data stewardship, data management, and data governance are essential to research. Yet, the lack of consensus on the responsibilities, knowledge, skills, and value of research data stewards leads to confusion about how research data stewardship complements data management and governance functions across research and scholarly communications lifecycles. Unclear professional standards and models hamper the development of a trained, data steward workforce for research institutions; indeed a shared body of knowledge (BOK) for data stewardship professionals has yet to emerge, although dedicated training for data stewards is occurring. The various types of institutional data stewardship models are not well understood, nor are the unique needs of data stewards as compared to data managers and data privacy professionals who have access to global community-supported BOKs, professional networks, and events through associations such as such as the data managers focused DAMA International association, the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
