MOTIVATION Although semantic similarity in Gene Ontology (GO) and other approaches may be used to find similar GO terms, there is yet a method to systematically find a class of GO terms sharing a common property with high accuracy (e.g., involving human curation). RESULTS We have developed a methodology to address this issue and applied it to identify lipid-related GO terms, owing to the impo...

Academic librarians are increasingly engaging in data curation by providing infrastructure (e.g., institutional repositories) and offering services (e.g., data management plan consultation) to support the management of research data on their campuses. Efforts to develop these resources may benefit from a greater understanding of disciplinary differences in research data management needs. After ...

The paper describes the design and delivery of the curriculum of the International Master DILL and the methodology used to integrate the digital curation module and its specific learning objectives. Keywords— Digital Library Education, Digital curation

Facilitating discovery is an aspect of curation that has been addressed by the eBank UK project. This paper describes the metadata and associated issues considered when working within the chemistry sub-discipline of crystallography. A metadata-mediated discovery model has been implemented to aid the dissemination and sharing of research datasets; although the specific characteristics of crystal...

Experimentally generated biological information needs to be organized and structured in order to become meaningful knowledge. However, the rate at which new information is being published makes manual curation increasingly unable to cope. Devising new curation strategies that leverage upon data mining and text analysis is, therefore, a promising avenue to help life science databases to cope wit...

This paper represents the results of a survey based analysis on training opportunities conducted under the DigCurV, a project funded by the European Commission’s Leonardo da Vinci programe. The analysis of training opportunities was conducted at the start of the project with the aim to identify, document and analyze the training courses, curriculum, resources that are available for vocational t...

In this paper, we describe the work of the EC-funded DigCurV project (http://www.digcur-education.org/). We examine the context of the project, the methods and findings of its extensive survey work, and the development of proposed frameworks for evaluating and delivering a digital curation curriculum.
