Palmer, Carole L. Chao, Tiffany C Digital research data have introduced a new set of collection, preservation, and service demands into the tradition of digital librarianship. Consequently, the role of an information professional has evolved to include the activities of data curation. This new field more specifically addresses the needs of stewarding and preserving digital research data. In this paper, we offer an overview of data curation research and education in the field of library and information science (LIS), focusing specifically on the current state of professional practice, trends in education and workforce development, and future directions for both basic and applied research. Drawing on the proceedings from two data curation summits held in late 2010, we highlight and build on the major insights and recommendations that emerged from discussions among more than 50 leading experts from government agencies, data centers, the field of LIS, and the publishing industry. Specifically, we note the importance of developing interoperable standards for describing datasets, the need for curators to participate in data privacy and ownership policy development, the increasing demand for a workforce to support discipline-specific data practices, and, finally, the varied approaches for professional education that will be required by a data-driven research agenda in both the sciences and humanities. We conclude with an overview of future directions for research and workforce development in data curation.

Palmer, Carole L. Wickett, Karen M. Baker, Karen S. Jett, Jacob G. DiLauro, Timothy Fouke, Bruce W. Asangba, Abigail E. Rodman, Ann Choudhury, G. Sayeed This report summarizes the findings and recommendations from a two-day workshop held at Yellowstone National Park (YNP) on 16-17 April 2013. Members of the Site-Based Data Curation (SBDC) research team met with researchers, park rangers, and National Park Service (NPS) data managers to gain a broader understanding of the steps needed to facilitate greater data sharing among all of the YNP research stakeholders. All present agreed that in addition to the clear value of aggregating research data, the practice of site photography could be leveraged to provide a valuable access point to data. Next steps, including development of data sharing awareness materials, are set forth within the report's recommendations. data curation Yellowstone National Park data policy workshops small science site-based science geobiology Mon, 27 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT Instrument for the GSLIS/UIUC specialization in Data Curation alumni survey, 2008-2012 http://hdl.handle.net/2142/46085 Instrument for the GSLIS/UIUC specialization in Data Curation alumni survey, 2008-2012 Thompson, Cheryl A The document contains the survey instrument from a study on the Specialization in Data Curation program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, aimed at understanding job preparedness and work experiences of graduates and areas for improvement in data curation education. The survey captured information on employment status, job characteristics, career satisfaction, program assessment, continuing education needs, and future trends in data curation.

Isaac, Antoine Fenlon, Katrina Doerr, Martin Meghini, Carlo Palmer, Carole L. Jett, Jacob This report presents the results of a collaboration between members of the IMLS Digital Collections and Content (DCC) project and developers of the Europeana Data Model (EDM) to construct a formal extension of EDM that explicitly accommodates representation of collections and collection/item relationships. The goal is to enhance the representation facilities of EDM, and to make EDM conducive to representing collection-level data from DCC and other digital content providers. We report on the outcomes of the collaboration – use cases, requirements, and recommendations for modeling collections in exchange and aggregation environments – prefaced by a short section covering background on the foundational DCC and Europeana initiatives and an overview of related work in the field.

This model is designed to facilitate the implementation of interoperable annotation services and tools supporting research and scholarship in the humanities and sciences and to allow researchers to annotate information objects across multiple repositories. At the core of the specification is the idea that annotations are themselves first class Web resources that can be referenced and annotated.

Palmer, Carole L. Unsworth, John The Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign expanded its Data Curation Education Program (DCEP) 1, a specialization within the ALA-accredited master’s program, to include humanities data. This project (DCEP-H, located at the Center for Informatics Research in Science and Scholarship (CIRSS), developed curricular content, recruited humanities-oriented students, supported exemplary and underrepresented scholars with fellowships, managed internship placements, organized a summer institute for in-service professionals, created an online community-based guide to resources, conducted needs assessment, and held a humanities data curation summit. The GSLIS Data Curation Education Program now focuses equally on humanities data and includes as many humanities-oriented students as science-oriented students. The project also brought data curation education to the attention of key audiences: the LIS, data curation, and digital humanities communities, and led to educational and research initiatives. data curation data curation education humanities data curation Sun, 17 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMT Extending the reach of our collective cultural heritage: The IMLS DCC Flickr Feasibility Study http://hdl.handle.net/2142/35210 Extending the reach of our collective cultural heritage: The IMLS DCC Flickr Feasibility Study Jett, Jacob Palmer, Carole L. Fenlon, Katrina Chao, Zoe The Flickr Feasibility Study investigated the roles and processes required for a digital collection aggregator to facilitate participation of cultural heritage institutions in Web 2.0 communities. The results demonstrate that providing this service for museums, libraries, and archives can be a natural extension of aggregation activities. While the role is complicated by the varying requirements of different kinds of institutions, analysis of user interactions can guide both collection development and building of communities of interest around cultural heritage collections. digital collections digital images Flickr Commons IMLS DCC Web 2.0 aggregator user-generated content tags Fri, 22 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT Enhancing Cultural Heritage Collections by Supporting and Analyzing Participation in Flickr http://hdl.handle.net/2142/34839 Enhancing Cultural Heritage Collections by Supporting and Analyzing Participation in Flickr Senseney, Megan F. Jett, Jacob Palmer, Carole L. Cultural heritage institutions can enhance their collections by sharing content through popular web services. Drawing on current analyses from the Flickr Feasibility Study, we report on the pronounced increase in use of the IMLS DCC Flickr Photostream in the past year, trends in how users are engaging with the content, and data provider perspectives on participation in Flickr through the DCC. In addition to users providing comments and tags for images, they are increasingly integrating historical images from libraries and museums into new digital objects and special collections. Intermediary services can fill a key role in lowering the burden for institutions to engage in Web 2.0 initiatives and broadening public access to cultural heritage content. To extend the scope of the current DCC services, we propose a feedback framework for transferring user-generated information to institutional data providers.
