    Best Practices for Biomedical Research Data Management Harvard Medical School, The Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine Module 8 Wiki Guide Learning Objectives and Outcomes: 1. Emphasize characteristics of long-term data curation and preservation that build on and extend active data management ● It is the purview of permanent archiving and preservation to take over stewardship and ensure that the data do not become technologically obsolete and no longer permanently accessible. ○ The selection of a repository to ensure that certain technical processes are performed routinely and reliably to maintain data integrity ○ Determining the costs and steps necessary to address preservation issues such as technological obsolescence inhibiting data access ○ Consistent, citable access to data and associated contextual records ○ Ensuring that protected data stays protected through repository-governed access control ● Data Management ○ Refers to the handling, manipulation, and retention of data generated within the context of the scientific process ○ Use of this term has become more common as funding agencies require researchers to develop and implement structured plans as part of grant-funded project activities ● Digital Stewardship ○ Contributions to the longevity and usefulness of digital content by its caretakers that may occur within, but often outside of, a formal digital preservation program ○ Encompasses all activities related to the care and management of digital objects over time, and addresses all phases of the digital object lifecycle 2. Distinguish between preservation and curation ● Digital Curation ○ The combination of data curation and digital preservation ○ There tends to be a relatively strong orientation toward authenticity, trustworthiness, and long-term preservation ○ Maintaining and adding value to a trusted body of digital information for future and current use.

The study aims to satisfy the need for increasingly efficient data extraction strategies and effective representation methods for blockchain data. For this reason, we conceived a system to make scalable the process of blockchain data extraction and clustering, and to provide a SQL database which preserves the distinction between transaction and addresses. The proposed system satisfies the need to cluster addresses in entities, and the need to store the extracted data in a conventional database, making possible the data analysis by querying the database. In general, ETL processes allow the automation of the operation of data selection, data collection and data conditioning from a data warehouse, and produce output data in the best format for subsequent processing or for business. We focus on the Bitcoin blockchain transactions, which we organized in a relational database to distinguish between the input section and the output section of each transaction.

  • Transitioning from Data Storage to Data Curation: the Challenges Facing an Archaeological Institution Maria Sagrario R
    Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology Volume 10, 2013 Transitioning from Data Storage to Data Curation: The Challenges Facing an Archaeological Institution Maria Sagrario R. Simbulan University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines [email protected] Abstract Each archaeological project generates substantial amounts of data from season to season, all of which need to be collected, analyzed, organized, and stored. After an archaeological project or season ends and all the accessioning-related and analytical activities are completed, all those arti- facts are stored away in shelves, boxes and crates, and the associated archaeological data will be stored as digital files and in file folders. There are two critical questions in a time of downsized organizations and shrinking budgets: How can the archaeological data and related scientific in- formation pertaining to each of these archaeological projects be preserved and made available to other researchers? How do we make sure that future generations are able to access these infor- mation resources? I ask these questions as a relative newcomer to archaeology. This paper is a quest to understand how archaeological institutions can transition from an individually curated, per project/per season information gathering and data storage approach to a centralized information resource manage- ment approach known as archaeological data curation. Specifically, this paper will look at the challenges that an archaeological institution would face as it attempts to shift from narrowly- focused, project-related data storage to a broader and long-term focus on the management of the archaeological information resources of the entire institution. Keywords: data curation, data repositories, archaeological data curation, digital curation Introduction Archaeological activities, whether in the field or in the laboratory, generate significant amounts of data.

Data Curation Terms and Activities The DCN team drafted a dictionary of relevant terms used in data curation by consulting the following sources: SAA, CASRAI, DCC, RDA, DPC, RDC, ICPSR, and steps from ACRL book ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “Curating Research Data Volume 2: Handbook of current practice” (forthcoming November 2016). The resulting activities will be used in our engagement sessions with researchers at each of the six institutions in the Data Curation Network as well as our 2017 ARL SPEC Kit survey. Definitions Data Curation: The encompassing work and actions taken by curators of a data ​ ​ repository in order to provide meaningful and enduring access to data. ​ Data Repository: A digital archive that provides services for the storage and retrieval of ​ digital content. Data: Facts, measurements, recordings, records, or observations about the world ​ collected by scientists and others, with a minimum of contextual interpretation. Data may be any format or medium (e.g., numbers, symbols, text, images, films, video, sound recordings, drawings, designs or other graphical representations, procedural manuals, forms, data processing algorithms, or statistical records.) (RDA). Data Curation Activities Data curation activities can be arranged around five steps of data curation life-cycle: Ingest, Appraise (Accept), Curate, Access, and Preserve. Ingest ● Authentication: The process of confirming the identity of a person, generally the depositor, who is contributing data to the data repository. (e.g., password authentication or authorization via digital signature).

  • Data Curation Approach to Management of Research Data
    Data Curation Approach to Management of Research Data. Use Cases for a Upgrade of the Thermophysical Database THERMAL Andrey Kosinov1, Adilbek Erkimbaev1, Geirgy Kobzev1, and Vladimir Zitserman1 1 Joint Institute for High Temperatures, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia [email protected] Abstract. Procedures are considered to support extensive archives of digital da- ta called “data storage”. Particular attention is paid to the support of scientific data. It is shown that the activities aimed at updating the thermophysical THERMAL database correspond to the approaches provided by the “data cura- tion”. A communication system for metadata with external ontology is pro- posed. The new version of metadata provides the possibility of multilateral as- sessment of the origin, quality and status of scientific data. It is shown that the use of new metadata provides a significant increase in the value of these stud- ies. Keywords: Research Data, Data Curation, Data Quality, Thermophysical Da- tabase 1 Introduction Digital data uploaded to repositories or databases require permanent procedures that guarantee safety, quality top-level and enduring access to data. The set of such proce- dures is the subject of particular activity of managing the use of data called data cu- ration. This term is rarely used in the Russian literature, although all the necessary actions for data integrity and management are of course performed to support digital repositories or databases. The meaning and content of the concept of curation of data can be revealed by referring to the history of its appearance. This concept originates from the Museum's practice, which is traditionally based on the curator's work on preservation, renovation and description of exhibits.
