Dave Thompson, a digital curator at the Wellcome Library, gave a presentation on digital curation and preservation. He explained that as a digital curator, he is responsible for maintaining two digital systems and working with archivists and digitization teams. Much of his time is spent in meetings, project management, and process improvement rather than directly managing data. He emphasized that digital data must be preserved for both technical reasons like preventing obsolescence as well as social and economic reasons. Finally, he stressed that successful long-term data management requires imagination, engagement with data creators and users, and recognizing that digital preservation is as much a social challenge as a technical one.
