Data Domains
Data Domains are high-level categories of Institutional Data, as designated by the Data Governance Council, for the purpose of assigning accountability and responsibility for the data. Each data domain has a Data Trustee.
Data Trustees
Data Trustees are the university officials with authority over institutional data or the university’s use thereof. Data Trustees are accountable for managing, protecting, and ensuring the integrity and usefulness of institutional data and for upholding UW-Madison policies, UW System policies, state laws, and federal laws applicable to institutional data. Each Data Trustee appoints one or more Data Stewards for the domain.
Data Stewards
Data Stewards are assigned by and accountable to Data Trustees. Data Stewards help define, implement, and enforce data management policies and procedures within their specific data domain. Institutional data stewards have delegated responsibility for all aspects of how data is acquired, used, stored and protected throughout its entire lifecycle from acquisition through disposition.
