Managing data is not an IT job. Data is just unformatted information, and should be managed and governed by those who are trained in Information Management: Modern day Librarians.
IT own the platform, and the software. They should never own the data as well.
- alexilliamson 7y agoI agree with this, and I think data librarian is a role that any "data-driven" company needs. IMO it makes a lot of sense for data scientists to fill that role, but I think that's an issue for many. Data scientists may think being a librarian and organizing the knowledge base is beneath them, or maybe management thinks it's beneath them. Execs tend to not care about the state of knowledge infrastructure as long as their reports get to them when they expect.
