Data Curation & Preservation

The Curation and Preservation discussion at the CSG Fall Meeting, led by Mairéad Martin from Penn State, highlighted essential definitions and practices in data management. Curation involves actively managing and appraising data throughout its lifecycle, crucial for ensuring reproducibility and facilitating reuse. Digital preservation strategies ensure continued access to both reformatted and born-digital content, safeguarding it against media failures and technological changes. The session covered valuable frameworks and models, including the Curation Lifecycle Model, and emphasized the importance of infrastructure and collaboration in effective data stewardship.

  1. Data Curation & Preservation CSG Fall Meeting, Princeton Mairéad Martin Penn State September, 2012

  2. A couple of definitions …. “Curation is the active management and appraisal of data over the lifecycle of scholarly and scientific interest; it is the key to reproducibility and reuse. This adds value through the provision of context and linkage: placing emphasis on 'publishing' data in ways that ease reuse, with implications for metadata and interoperability.” (Digital Curation Centre, UK) "Digital preservation combines policies, strategies and actions to ensure access to reformatted and born digital content regardless of the challenges of media failure and technological change. The goal of digital preservation is the accurate rendering of authenticated content over time." (American Library Association)

  3. Curation Lifecycle Model

  4. In this space … • NSF DataNet • DataONE • Data Conservancy • Preservation networks • LOCKSS, MetaArchive, Chronopolis, DPN • National Digital Stewardship Alliance • University of California Curation Center (UC3) • Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries • Purdue University Libraries • CurateCAMP • Digital Curation Center UK • DLF/CLIR Postdoc Fellowships

  5. So what does this mean for IT? • Infrastructure provisioning • Storage and archival Storage • Repository/DB platforms • Access management • Coordinated service offering • Sustainable service models • Collaboration with libraries, archives, information managers
