Unit 1
The term "curation" first originated here
what is museum field?
Five factors that distinguish disciplines
Assumptions
Concepts
Theories
Methods
Epistemologies
This is a rule of duplicated storage.
3-2-1 rule
3 - total copies of each digital object
2 - copies stored in different storage medias
1 - copies stored in an offsite location
Two groups that of people that are covered by special protections as vulnerable groups during the informed consent process
Children
Participants vulnerable to coercion
People under the influence
Pregnant women
Prisoners
(Meta)data are retrievable by their identifier using a standardized communications protocol
What is accessible?
decreasing cost of new tech, generation digital objects and data through daily life and social sharing and sensors embedded in everyday objects
is causing what
what is increasing data?
lack of communication between disciplines or difficulty translating shared concepts between disciplines
What are downsides of having disciplines?
Moving digital content from older, potentially obsolete hardware/software/formats to newer ones to ensure long-term access
What is emulation?
Study that lead to the regulation of research involving human subjects in the 1970s
What is the Tuskegee Syphilis Study?
Metadata and data should be well-described so that they can be replicated and/or combined in different settings.
What is reusable?
Occasional migration, Backups, Continuous monitoring
Create, Receive, Appraise, Select
Secure storage, Security and privacy policies
Get/make metadata, Figure out rights/licensing, Put it in a digital package
Make it accessible, As a package, Through an interface, With appropriate controls
Virus scan, Fixity check, Normalization
Monitor and Maintain
Curate
Store
Prepare for deposit
Access
Ingest
Encyclopedias, Indexes, Classification schemes, Knowledge graphs, Disciplines, Educational Programs
Widespread fear that without concerted effort, historical evidence being generated in the digital age is prone to disappear
What is the digital dark ages?
Personal and collective benefits of participation
Risks of participation
Whether results will be used for profit
The study procedures
Whether you can stop participating at any time during the study
There are things participants have to know in informed consent
(Meta)data use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. (Meta)data use vocabularies that follow FAIR principles
What is Interoperable?
Data that is not proven factual yet
What is "alleged evidence"?
Its ability to retain integrity, authenticity, and independent understandability. Therefore, if evidence is different in different fields, so are the specific qualities of integrity and authenticity that are priorities for different disciplines.
Why disciplines matter to digital curation?
Most common approach to this type of digital preservation relies on automatic indexing or crawling and capturing of internet pages
Web archiving
Research relying on publicly accessible data, even if those data were collected for a different study
Research on teaching strategies, conducted as part of regular classroom work
What types of research are generally exempt from the IRB?
Metadata clearly and explicitly include the identifier of the data they describe
What is findable?
The three categories of data
Computational
Observational
Experimental
The five factors that shape disciplines
Empiricism
Specialization and fragmentation
Professionalization
Legitimization
Departmentalization

The three Belmont report Principles and description
Respect for persons - informed consent, disclosure, participants have to be aware of aspects of the study
Beneficence - risk/benefit analysis
Justice - risks should be distributed equitably : how are research subjects selected?
The idea of open access has come to include data itself
What is open science?
