As an in-depth explanation of the entire digital curation
lifecycle, from creation to appraisal to preservation to
organization/access to transformation, the first edition of this
text set a benchmark for both thoroughness and clarity. Boasting
the expert guidance of international authorities Oliver and Harvey,
this revamped and expanded edition widens the scope to address
continuing developments in the strategies, technological
approaches, and activities that are part of this rapidly changing
field. In addition to current practitioners, those pursuing a
career as librarian, archivist, or records manager will find this
definitive survey invaluable. Filled with up-to-date best
practices, it covers such important topics as the scope and
incentives of digital curation, detailing Digital Curation Centre's
(DCC) lifecycle model as well as the Data Curation Continuum; key
requirements for digital curation, from description and
representation to planning and collaboration; the value and utility
of metadata; considering the needs of producers and consumers when
creating an appraisal and selection policy for digital objects; the
paradigm shift by institutions towards cloud computing and its
impact on costs, storage, and other key aspects of digital
curation; the quality and security of data; new and emerging data
curation resources, including innovative digital repository
software and digital forensics tools; mechanisms for sharing and
reusing data, with expanded sections on open access, open data, and
open standards initiatives; and processes to ensure that data are
preserved and remain usable over time. Useful as both a teaching
text and day-to-day working guide, this book outlines the essential
concepts and techniques that are crucial to preserving the
longevity of digital resources.
