From the document: “The Department of Defense (DoD) Data Stewardship Guidebook amplifies and extends key concepts from the DoD Data Strategy – three essential capabilities and five guiding principles. The essential capabilities enable the DoD Data Strategy goals and therefore, are leveraged within data stewardship roles and responsibilities to ensure that data is managed effectively at all levels. They empower the workforce to manage and maximize the value of data and to make data-informed decisions in implementing effectual processes. The guiding principles are foundational to all data efforts and enable military advantage by ensuring accountability throughout the data lifecycle, by providing access and availability to the fullest extent possible, and by keeping appropriate data sharing and use at the forefront.
The three (of four) essential capabilities leveraged in this guidebook are:
• Governance which provides the principles, policies, processes, frameworks, tools, metrics, and oversight required to effectively manage data at all levels, from creation to disposition.
• Talent and Culture which addresses the need to increasingly empower the DoD workforce (Service Members, Civilians, and Contractors at every echelon) to work with data, make data-informed decisions, create evidence-based policies, and implement effectual processes.
• Standards which provides a family of standards that includes not only commonly recognized approaches for the management and utilization of data assets, but also proven and successful methods for representing and sharing data.”
