Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- Set of actions performed by one or more Research Users on Research Data and/or Datasets using a Technique to cleanse, document, standardize, format and inter-relate them, with the goal of ensuring they are fit for the purpose and available for discovery and reuse. This includes (but is not limited to): forming a new Dataset from several data sources, annotating Research Data and/or a Dataset with Metadata, maintaining links with published materials (Publication Data and/or Scientific Publications). For dynamic Datasets this may mean continuous enrichment or updating. Special forms of Data Curation (e.g., versioning) may be available in Data Repositories.
