Data Stewards

• Design consent and access processes that remove unnecessary use restrictions on data.
• Provide clear information about how data can be accessed and how requests are reviewed.
• Justify any use restrictions or refusals to provide access.
• Adopt standard or (preferably) common access processes between data sources where appropriate.
• Permanently link data with metadata about provenance and associated obligations and restrictions in a standard and machine-readable format.
• Maintain an auditable record of all data users and purposes for which access is provided, and where feasible make it available to data donors and the general public.
• Where feasible, delegate access decisions to an independent, external party.
• Clearly set out the consequences of a failure to respect access conditions.
