Information Stewardship

Information stewardship - Accountability for the quality of some part of the information resource for the well-being of the larger organisation. Every individual within an organisation holds one or more information stewardship roles, based on the nature of their job and its relationship to information, such as creating information, applying it, defining it, modelling it, developing a computer screen to display it or moving it from one database or file to another. See Strategic information steward, Managerial information steward, and Operational information steward.
