Data Stewardship An Actionable Guide to Effective Data Management and Data Governance

"If you work in the field of data management, chance are you know of David Plotkin. He has worked in the field for decades and has written extensively on data, metadata, and related issues. With the second edition of his book, Plotkin has written the quintessential book on data stewardship. He defines data stewardship and how it fits together with data governance, delivering best practices, policies, and procedures that make sense. The book offers up practical advice on implementing data stewardship and defines the roles and responsibilities of the data steward. But he also devotes a chapter offering guidance on training for data stewards, and another chapter on the metrics that can be used to measure the performance of data stewards. And if your organization is new or just starting to implementing data governance and stewardship, then you absolutely must read Chapter 4, "Implementing Data Stewardship.” It will step you through the process of championing, communicating, and gaining support for data stewardship." --Data and Technology Today
