Data Stewardship Principles and Potentials: Knowledge Organization for Contextual Integrity and Convergence

As data stewardship has evolved and stabilized in libraries and repositories, knowledge organization expertise has been foundational in the management, curation, archiving, and reuse of data resources. Now, new trends in data services and the academic research enterprise are intensifying the importance and complexity of knowledge organization for data stewardship and data infrastructures. The talk will examine the metadata challenges associated with the growing expectations for responsible and ethical data services, including the imperative for “contextual integrity” in the curation of sensitive qualitative data and the governance of Indigenous data. It will also consider the knowledge structures implicated in the turn toward convergence research that is spurring significant investment in interdisciplinary discovery and innovation. I conclude by arguing that these trends suggest unique and necessary directions for knowledge organization education and the professional data workforce.
