Guiding Principles of
Data Management
Òa stewardship philosophyÓ
¥Quality assurance of
data.
¥Treat all information
as data.
¥Data that lacks
sufficient metadata has limited value beyond the
research program for which it was
collected.
¥Metadata should include sufficient information to support discovery, value assessment and accurate secondary use (re-use of data).
