What is Data Steward?
Definition
A data steward is responsible for the accuracy, quality, and lifecycle management of assigned datasets. In PIM, stewards manage specific product categories or attribute groups. Their oversight ensures compliance and catalog integrity.
The steward is an accountable role, not simply the person who enters data. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take a conflicting product specification from two approved sources, route the exception to the assigned data steward, and apply and record the steward's authorized decision.
