Based on traditional archival appraisal theories and existing appraisal/selection policies in libraries, archives, museums, social science and science data centers, this paper presents a generic appraisal/selection framework for digital curation and discusses how it can be implemented. The framework includes three selection methods: statistical sampling, risk analysis and appraisal. Details abo...
