[Rdap] Data Curation Network: Model Released for Comment

[Lisa Johnston]

Hey RDAP,

I'm excited to announce that our team has just released the result of our
planning phase, a model for launching a Data Curation Network
<https://sites.google.com/site/datacurationnetwork/results>, to our website
for comment. We'd greatly appreciate your feedback on this proposed new
service via in-doc commenting (web version
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IGPiOyKJAl52HALo3i5-Qv_yBnuvyGiReB6ZoaXTW9s/edit#>)
or via email to the group at DCN-team at googlegroups.com.

A little background: With support from the Sloan Foundation, our team
researched curator skills, faculty/PI user-needs, and tracked local metrics
of the datasets coming to each of our institutions' data curation services
for the past year. We set out to develop a collaborative service that will
allow institutions like ours to better support researchers faced with a
growing number of requirements to ethically share their research data. The
result is a cross-institutional staffing model for curating research data.
With the Data Curation Network, institutional users (e.g., academic
libraries, disciplinary repositories, etc.) will be able to provide
critical new data curation services when local resources are limited
(without needing to hire) and to expand the scope of their curation support
to new and/or less frequently encountered data types. In our newly released
report we share our next steps for launching the DCN.


Thanks for reading!

Lisa
