Observations

• The mandates are already here
• This is not limited to any particular domain
• Professionalization of the 'Data Steward'
• This is best solved at the Institutional level
  • Researchers, Centralized IT, and Libraries
• DMSPs are in their infancy, lots of leadership opportunities
• Knowledge should be transferable, sharing will be worth it

Questions?

Thank you.
