Data stewardship for FAIR data management: how WUR organizes data governance

Samenvatting

At Wageningen University & Research (WUR) we observe that in many groups researchers or technical staff take up data stewardship tasks to support their fellow researchers. Sometimes they just take care of the group data management plans, but in other cases they advise on sustainable and suitable storage solutions, provide assistance with data analysis, creating interoperable linked data, or advice on subject specific data repositories. These Data Stewards invest time and knowledge, but so far meet little recognition or reward.
