Disease or patient registries are collections of secondary data related to patients with a specific diagnosis, condition, or procedure

from simple spreadsheets that only can be accessed by a small group of physicians to very complex databases that are accessed online across multiple institutions.

An electronic medical record keeps track of all the patients a doctor follows but a registry only keeps track of a small sub population of patients with a specific condition.

In metadata, a data steward is a person that is responsible for maintaining a data element in a metadata registry. A data steward may share some responsibilities with a data custodian.

The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit, by Ralph Kimball et. el., Wiley, 1998, also briefly mentions the role of data steward in the context of data warehouse project management on page 70.
