Digital curation is the selection, preservation, maintenance, collection and archiving of digital assets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Digital Curation Centre )〕 Digital curation establishes, maintains and adds value to repositories of digital data for present and future use.〔 This is often accomplished by archivists, librarians, scientists, historians, and scholars. Enterprises are starting to use digital curation to improve the quality of information and data within their operational and strategic processes.〔E. Curry, A. Freitas, and S. O’Riáin, (“The Role of Community-Driven Data Curation for Enterprises,” ) in Linking Enterprise Data, D. Wood, Ed. Boston, MA: Springer US, 2010, pp. 25-47.〕 Successful digital curation will mitigate digital obsolescence, keeping the information accessible to users indefinitely. The term ''curation'' in the past commonly referred to museum and library professionals. It has since been applied to interaction with social media including compiling digital images, web links and movie files. ==Approaches to digital curation== The Digital Curation Centre is a "world leading centre of expertise in digital information curation" that assists higher education research institutions. The DCC is based in the UK and began operations in early 2004. The following is a general outline of their approach to digital curation: * Conceptualize: Consider what digital material you will be creating and develop storage options. Take into account websites, publications, email, among other types of digital output. * Create: Produce digital material and attach all relevant metadata, typically the more metadata the more accessible the information. * Access and use: Determine the level of accessibility for the range of digital material created. Some material may be accessible only by password and other material may be freely accessible to the public. * Appraise and select: Consult the mission statement of the institution or private collection and determine what digital data is relevant. There may also be legal guidelines in place that will guide the decision process for a particular collection. * Dispose: Discard any digital material that is not deemed necessary to the institution. * Ingest: Send digital material to the predetermined storage solution. This may be an archive, repository or other facility. * Preservation action: Employ measures to maintain the integrity of the digital material. * Reappraise: Reevaluate material to ensure that is it still relevant and is true to its original form. * Store: Secure data within the predetermined storage facility. * Access and reuse: Routinely check that material is still accessible for the intended audience and that the material has not been compromised through multiple uses. * Transform: If desirable or necessary the material may be transferred into a different digital format. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Digital curation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
