Digital Curation: a new platform for digital preservation of research data
Keywords:
Digital Curation. Research data. eScience. Digital preservation.Abstract
A considerable part of the results of research activities is being created in digital formats. Although valuable, these data are at risk of being lost by technological obsolescence and by the inherent fragility of digital media. Thus, the management of research data in a digital networked and distributed environment becomes an increasing challenge for the world of research and for the information science. In response to this challenge arises the concept of digital curation, which involves the management of research data from its planning, ensuring its long-term preservation, discovery, interpretation and reuse. In this sense, this study briefly examines the importance of research data and of the idea of digital curation and its impact on the formulation of new documents and scientific communication.Downloads
