Data are becoming the proverbial coin of the digital realm: a
research commodity that might purchase reputation credit in a
disciplinary culture of data sharing, or buy transparency when
faced with funding agency mandates or publisher scrutiny. Unlike
most monetary systems, however, digital data can flow in all too
great an abundance. Not only does this currency actually "grow" on
trees, but it comes from animals, books, thoughts, and each of us!
And that is what makes data curation so essential. The abundance of
digital research data challenges library and information science
professionals to harness this flow of information streaming from
research discovery and scholarly pursuit and preserve the unique
evidence for future use. Curating Research Data, Volume Two: A
Handbook of Current Practice guides you across the data lifecycle
through the practical strategies and techniques for curating
research data in a digital repository setting. The data curation
steps for receiving, appraising, selecting, ingesting,
transforming, describing, contextualizing, disseminating, and
preserving digital research data are each explored, and then
supplemented with detailed case studies written by more than forty
international practitioners from national, disciplinary, and
institutional data repositories. The steps in this volume detail
the sequential actions that you might take to curate a data set
from receiving the data (Step 1) to eventual reuse (Step 8). Data
curators, archivists, research data management specialists, subject
librarians, institutional repository managers, and digital library
staff will benefit from these current and practical approaches to
data curation. Digital data is ubiquitous and rapidly reshaping how
scholarship progresses now and into the future. The information
expertise of librarians can help ensure the resiliency of digital
data, and the information it represents, by addressing how the
meaning, integrity, and provenance of digital data generated by
researchers today will be captured and conveyed to future
researchers.
