The document discusses digital curation and the Digital Curation Centre (DCC). It defines digital curation as the process of maintaining and preserving digital assets for current and future use. The DCC supports digital curation activities through services, tools and the Digital Curation Lifecycle Model, which outlines key stages from data creation to long-term preservation and access. The DCC aims to promote sustainable digital research and reduce risks to digital materials over time.

2. Introduction
• The amount of digital data and information is
creating and increasing in every second
• It leads the problems of collecting, managing,
organizing and preserving that digital asset.
• There are some step is taken by the curator such
as
• Developing the Electronic Research Data
Management System (ERDMS).
• Creating the Digital repository.

3. Digital Preservation
• Digital preservation is the combination of the
strategies, actions, and policies that to ensure
formatted and born digital content to be accessible
to regardless of any media failure and new
technological challenges for the overtime accurate
rendering of authenticated content. (American
Library Association (ALA), 2008)

4. Conti..
• Digital preservation process refers the series of
managed activities and in part of its action that
needed to secure the digital continuity of
resources for long term that is important to
maintain the content accessible beyond the limits
of media failure or technological migration.
(Digital Preservation Coalition, 2015)
• The Management, Preservation and maintenance
of digital material that can easily access and used
by future Generation. (University of Michigan
Library, 2018)

5. Digital Curation
• It is the Process of selecting, maintaining,
preserving, and archiving of digital asset for
establishing, and developing the long term
valuable repositories.
• Not only for the meant for the future generation
of the researcher, historian, scientist and scholar
but it is also for the current generation
• Digital Curation is the future term of the
Research Data Management.

6. Digital Curation Centre (DCC)
• Digital Curation Centre lunched in 5th november
2004 in Edinburgh, Scotland
• Funded by
• Joint information System Committee (JISC)
• UK e-Science Core Programme, Engineering
and Physical Science Research Council
• It is the centre of expertise in digital curation
with the focus to build capability and skill of the
research data management

13. Purpose
• To support and Promote the Quality of Digital
Research data curation and preservation activity
through out its lifecycle
• Reduce the risk of Digital obsolescence
• Reached and shared to the wider Research
Community
• Reduce the duplication of the research data
creation
• Access and Available to the long-term and Use in
further Research

14. Digital Curation Lifecycle Model
(DCLM)
• It provides a graphical, overview of the stages
required for successful curation and preservation
of data from initial conceptualization.
• Data Life cycle is used to promote, preserve,
curate, and plan the activities of the research
data for project, organization, and consortium
• Key element are:
• Data (Information in binary form)
• Digital Objects
• Databases

16. Different stages of DCLM
• Conceptualize (Create the concept and Plan :-
Data capturing and Storing )
• Create (produce and assign metadata)
• Access and use (open access, closed access,
and password protect)

17. Conti…
• Appraise and select (Evaluate and select for
long-term:- guidance, policies, and legal
requirement needs)***
• Dispose (secure destruction)**
• Ingest (transfer and archiving :-Repository, data
centre, etc.)**
• Preservation Action (ensure and retantion of the
long-term :- Preservation and authoritative
nature)

18. Conti..
• Reappraise (Use in the different way if fail the
validation procedures)
• Store (Keep secure to follow the relevant
standards)
• Access and re-use (accessible to user with the
time)
• Transform (create or Convert or migrate into
new form)

19. Conclusion
• Every institution needs to develop the
Every Research Data Management services
that help the people to interpret in their
research but also the help the people that
have the better interpretation and
understanding of data into new divergent
