Once Upon A Data Steward - PSDI webinar

The Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI) aims to accelerate research in the physical sciences by providing a data infrastructure that brings together and builds upon the various data systems researchers currently use. Our webinar series provide updates on our exploratory pathfinder work, and on relevant tools and technologies that have been developed by members of our community. This video presents a recording of the "Once upon a data steward" webinar presented by Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza on 10th July 2025. https://www.psdi.ac.uk/event/webinar-... The slides are available on zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/16279243 Abstract: ​Data availability and usage across all research domains is becoming exponentially more necessary as research methods transition into, and more routinely embrace, computation and advanced technologies. This research data growth presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges but requires investment in human expertise to maximize its potential. In many disciplines, the expertise and effort required to make data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) is vastly underestimated. Project researchers frequently lack time or appropriate knowledge to do this, resulting in substantial research data that are not fit for re-use. Ultimately, this responsibility and expertise should not lie with researchers. Much like the rise of specialist roles such as research software engineers and data scientists, there is a new specialist digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) role that is gathering traction, the Data Steward – they are the key to bridging the gap between data generation and reuse, as they have a fundamental role that ensures the quality, accuracy, accessibility and longevity of data across the entire data lifecycle. This Webinar highlights the importance of the role of data stewardship, and to find out all about Samantha's brand new initiative CaSDaR (Careers and Skills for data-driven Research), a dedicated four year Network+ for Data Stewards that empowers them to play a central role in the research lifecycle. 00:00 Introduction 01:10 Presentation 39:32 Questions 43:25 Outro
