Tools and applications
If you find yourself increasingly bewildered about digital curation tools, you are not alone. Most studies that explore currently available tools leave many questions unanswered, causing data custodians across the country to be unsure of which tools to apply.
As the UK’s leading centre of expertise in digital data curation, the DCC is committed to alleviating this confusion. We can provide you with the best advice about digital curation tools – not only how to use them, but also how they relate to one another and how their costs and benefits stack up.
DCC tools
Since our inception in 2004, the DCC has developed a suite of tools to help UK HEI researchers and research support staff to better understand their particular data management and curation needs, assess current activity and infrastructure, and to plan for improvement.
Our tools inlcude:
- DMP Online - helps you to develop data management plans that meet research council and funding body mandates.
- Collaborative Assessment of Research Data Infrastructure and Objectives (CARDIO) - helps you to assess your data management support and infrastrucutre and to collaboratively plan for improvement.
- Data Asset Framework (DAF) - helps you to identify researchers' current data management activity, their data holdings and their data management requirements.
- Digital Repository Audit Method Based on Risk Assessment (DRAMBORA) - helps you to define and address the risks threatening your digital repository content and infrastructure.
- Registry/Repository of Representation Information (RRORI) - provides you with centralised and persistent storage and retrieval of OAIS Representation Information including Preservation Description Information.
Have a look at our catalogue of digital curation tools and technical information for information on externally developed tools and resources. If you'd like to add information on data management and curation tools and resources that you have developed, please get in touch with us. We'd also be interested in hearing from you about your own experiences in making use of DCC or any other data management and curation tools.
