Summary
Overall, this chapter provided a comprehensive overview of the roles and responsibilities of data stewards, as well as related topics such as data quality management, data lineage, data classification, access control, data security, and data privacy and compliance.
Data stewards bridge the gap between data governance policy-making bodies and the implementation of data policies. Some of their key responsibilities include reconciling conflicting definitions, defining value domains, reporting on quality metrics, establishing data access control and security, monitoring and ensuring compliance with regulations, providing data-driven insights, and more.
In the next chapter, we will dive deeper into the stages in the data life cycle, the importance of data incident management, and the framework of data ownership. Join us as we continue to unlock the value of data in enterprise environments.
