Please share this directive with all staff in your office who could potentially be designated as a data steward. Individuals identified as stewards need not always be the senior technical expert on an application, topic or component of a topic and will work with other specialists and stewards to make data management decisions. There will be one state data steward for each corporate application and theme. When applications or themes contain or use data of more than one type, or when themes are used by multiple applications, the stewards must coordinate with the other pertinent stewards to manage the data. Data stewards can be placed anywhere in the organization and can fill more than one role at a time.
Duties are hierarchical.
Each data steward uses and adheres to the data standards and policy developed by data stewards in the office level above them. Definitions Application - A set of structured steps that are saved and reused to process data or generate reports. Corporate Data - Data that is needed throughout the state, and data that must be shared or combined among offices. Data are required in or supply input to a state or Washington Office required report. Data are shared among districts or with the state or Washington Office.
