Data Curation Network (DCN) Releases 2024 Annual Report https://www.infodocket.com/2025/02/03/video-heather-staines-interviews-ivan-oransky-andrew-beckerman-named-chair-of-the-dryad-board-invest-in-open-infrastructure-announces-2-7m-commitment-from-founding-group-for-the-ioi-fund-for-netwo/ #libraries #datacuration

Here's our 2024 overview, with a focus just on our #datacuration efforts. We'll share 2024 retrospectives about our work in professional development and #dataethics shortly.

It's been another active year, and we're grateful to our data contributors and our funders for their support and collaboration!

#DatabasesDemystified Part 3: Types of Curation

This advanced search discovers how many #databases have each of the different types of #datacuration @fairsharing describes: manual, automated, both manual and automated, none, or not found.

Surprisingly, most databases in FAIRsharing are manually curated. But why is the curation status of 30% of those databases unknown? Read more at https://blog.fairsharing.org/?p=868

Thanks to our team and our #FAIRsharingCommunityChampions

Having posted previously about having additional redundancy in social connections, I’ve taken it a step further by starting to grab copies of media that I like on the internet.

While I’d like to think the sites we use are resilient, too often I find that great artwork, stories, and videos disappear, never to be found again, and that’s kinda sad.

So what am I using for this effort? Right now, mostly right-click and save. For stories/articles, I found that using SingleFile is a great way to preserve a copy of the page (which if the page supports reader view, Firefox will let you use reader view on it!).

As for organising these files, I picked up filetags. It’s not the easiest thing to use but it’s forced me to think of what tags I would actually use, plus it has a pretty neat navigation view by invoking filetags --tagtrees --filebrowser none, so you can filter down just by going into folders.

Last days to apply!

We are delighted that our colleague Constanze Curdt will be presenting @helmholtz_hmc today at the @digitalcuration #IDCC24 conference in #Edinburgh with a poster on FAIR metadata utilisation for @helmholtz in the poster session. What a great opportunity to get together with other #data practitioners to discuss #datacuration from all possible angles - and that in such a very unique setting. Hope to see you there...

Data patterns for community survey data integrated into a data harmonization workflow description, O'Brien etal 2021 tackles the issue of diverse data harmonization for ecological community surveys. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1574954121001655 #DataScience #DataPipeline #DataCuration #SciLit

The development of high value data products requires close community collaborations as needs are challenging to anticipate a priori. Baker etal 2015 describe the socio-science context for a set of sea ice data products that illustrate this winding road. https://ijdc.net/ijdc/article/view/10.2.110 #DataScience #CommunityScience #DataCuration #SciLit

As the year comes to a close, we thank #ARL's Shawna Taylor for her reflections on our recent CNI members meeting in "Reaffirming Openness and Collaboration As We Say Goodbye to the Year of Open Science – Highlights From CNI Fall ‘23" on the #DataCuration Network's blog. Read at the link https://datacurationnetwork.org/2023/12/19/reaffirming-openness-and-collaboration-as-we-say-goodbye-to-the-year-of-open-science-highlights-from-cni-fall-23/ #CNI23f

OMG the data curation network ( ) did a CARE principles primer project. If you haven't seen them, the DCN Data Curation Primers generally can be found at https://datacurationnetwork.org/outputs/data-curation-primers/ and they're amazing. This one specifically is located at https://github.com/DataCurationNetwork/data-primers/blob/master/CARE%20Primer/care-primer.md
I feel like I should have already known something this cool. Did I see the announcement and just lose it from my brain? So many great #datacuration data resources have come out this year.
