Shaping the Data Steward Community in Germany

Abstract: Research data management and data stewardship are no longer new concepts. In a national context, there is a lack of a commonly accepted framework for describing data stewards. Despite this, more and more RDM professionals are describing themselves as data stewards and a community of practice (CoP) seems to be emerging. Here we describe the first steps of this new community, which is creating a vision, establishing a communication
structure and finding like-minded RDM professionals to join. A CoP will act as a social learning space to advance research data stewardship by sharing good practices and initiate discussions on job profiles, education and training of data stewards, as well as effective integration of data stewards into research teams and career paths for this group
of professionals who have become an important part of today’s research enterprise.
