description
This MCN 2011 panel presentation proposes that the digital curation lifecycle can serve as a model for museums to assess how they are organizing themselves around the challenges of going digital, and serve as a common language across disciplines (humanities and sciences) as well as communitiies (libraries, archives, museums).

Data/Digital Curation
Straddles disciplines– Focus on the sciences as
“data curation”– Extension to humanities
as “digital curation”
Straddles communities– Libraries (digital
preservation)– Archives (selection &
appraisal)– Museums (curation)

Digital Asset Management Plans
How are digital assets managed for the long-term?
An exercise in self-awareness• What resources, procedures, standards, systems do we employ
to manage our resources?• Where do those resources, procedures, standards, systems fail
us?Driving decisions…• What resources, procedures, standards, systems do we need?
(unit)• What resources, procedures, standards, systems can we all
converge on? (pan-Institutional)
Digital Asset Management Plans
StateWhere are we?How are assets currently being managed?
AmbitionWhere do we want to go?Which assets actually need long–term management?
StrategyWhat is our plan?What is the most effective mechanism?
FundingHow do we fund it?

Predictions
• Funder and Institution requirements for DMPs will differ
• DMPs will surface points of failure (policies, resources, procedures, standards, systems, etc.)
• DMPs ultimately may help Smithsonian units work together more effectively

Curating Data - The next Frontier?
Be better at being introspective– The concepts of data curation could help us take a
more holistic view at existing practices.
Be better at being extroverted– Data curation could be a common ground of
conversation among different disciplines (humanties, sciences) and different communities (including libraries, archives, museums)
