Curation Lifecycle Model (Digital Curation Centre)

The model enables granular functionality to be mapped against it: to define roles and responsibilities and build a framework of standards and technologies to implement. It can be used to help identify additional steps that may be required – or actions not required by certain situations or disciplines – and to ensure that processes and policies are adequately documented.

This includes: Databases: structured collections of records or data stored in a computer system. Preservation Planning Plan for preservation throughout the curation lifecycle of digital material. Conceptualise Conceive and plan the creation of data, including capture method and storage options.

Forschungsdaten.org Stanford University Libraries: Data management plans About data management plans (DMPs) A data management plan (DMP) is a written document that describes the data you expect to acquire or generate during the course of a research project, how you will manage, describe, analyze, and store those data, and what mechanisms you will use at the end of your project to share and preserve your data. You may have already considered some or all of these issues with regard to your research project, but writing them down helps you formalize the process, identify weaknesses in your plan, and provide you with a record of what you intend(ed) to do. Data management is best addressed in the early stages of a research project, but it is never too late to develop a data management plan. Requirements, examples, and review Funding agency requirements Many funding agencies require a DMP with every funding request.
