The practices represent aspirational goals that, when fully realized, will enable agencies, practitioners, and policymakers to improve the government’s approach to data stewardship and leverage data to create value. The draft practices are grouped according to five broad objectives that begin to operationalize five corresponding objectives. • Govern and Manage Data as a Strategic Asset • Protect and Secure Data • Promote Efficient Use of Data Assets • Build a Culture that Values Data as an Asset • Honor Stakeholder Input and Leverage Partners In addition to applying across government, the strategy and its practices apply across the data lifecycle, which can be depicted in six stages: 1. Creation, collection, or acquisition; 2. processing; 3. access; 4. use; 5. dissemination; and 6. storage and disposition. See https://strategy.data.gov for more information about how the draft practices pertain to each of those stages. The draft practices will be revised and further developed in response to public and agency comments. Specifically, comments are requested on the following: 1. What framework(s) for organizing or classifying the practices would be most useful to Federal practitioners and other key stakeholders? For example, should they be classified according to whether they pertain to data creation, collection, or acquisition; processing; access; use; dissemination; and storage and disposition? 2. List and describe any additional practices relevant to data creation, collection, acquisition, processing, access, use, dissemination, storage, and disposition that are not included in the draft practices. 3. Identify any draft practices that should be omitted and explain why. 4. Provide any necessary edits to the practices to ensure that they effectively identify objectives, outcomes, or goals and are helpful to a practitioners and data policymakers. 5. Please provide examples of how Federal, state, local, or tribal government agencies have successfully implemented a particular practice. 6. Please provide specific action steps that should be associated with a particular practice.
