The data steward is responsible for knowing how our data is collected, maintained, and interpreted inside and outside of the organization.  The data steward is also responsible for establishing data-quality metrics and requirements, including defining values, ranges, and parameters, that are required for each data element, and ensuring those are shared, discoverable and reportable.
