What is Data Stewardship?

Definition

Data stewardship refers to the role-based accountability for managing data quality, governance, and standards. Stewards enforce policies and maintain integrity across product datasets. They play a key part in sustaining trusted PIM operations.

Stewardship is the ongoing practice of keeping data definitions and quality decisions accountable. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take recurring exceptions for ambiguous beam-angle values, assign review and track recurring causes with the responsible team, and update approved guidance to prevent repeated defects.
