Closing the Digital Curation Gap
Closing the Digital Curation Gap
Data curation is often carried out by information practitioners with little training or experience. The Closing the Digital Curation Gap (CDCG) collaboration unites those at the cutting edge of digital curation research, development, teaching and training with the aim of creating good practice guides covering all aspects of data curation.
