6 May, 2010 | in Publications
By: Chris Rusbridge

The report examines models and terminology already in use to describe digital curation, digital repositories, data lifecycles and data processing. It summarizes the guidance provided by research funders, data centres and curation specialists on curating digital data, alongside any requirements they impose. Finally, it provides a brief overview of standards and tools of particular relevance to the ERIM project, and draws lessons from the introduction of a new curation policy at the World Data Center for Climate.
