Professionalising data stewardship in the Netherlands
Dutch roadmap towards national implementation of FAIR data stewardship
FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) data are part of open science. In order to open up data in a way that complies with existing standards, ethics and laws, data stewardship was introduced: a data steward can be described as someone who makes data accessible in a correct way and/or helps others to do so.
The report below was commissioned by ZonMw on behalf of the National Programme Open Science
(NPOS) to provide arguments for urgent decisions and activities to ensure adequate data steward capacity in the Netherlands to realise its ambitions with respect to Open Science. The project 'National Programme Open Science on Education and Training in Open Science and Data Stewardship', for which the results are described in the current report, focuses on professionalizing data stewardship. The report recommends implementation steps that should lead to optimal data stewardship capacity.
