History

DCP Interest Group roots

Charter

The Data Curation and Preservation (DCP) Interest Group is established to share best practices and engage IVOA member projects in the long-term curation and preservation of astronomical data.

Main discussion topics:

  • Identification of at-risk data and data collections
  • Processes for engaging the community in curation and preservation activities
  • Coordination with strategic partners such as astronomical data centers, research libraries, and scholarly publishers
  • Feedback about related work done in Research Data Alliance, liaison with the RDA WG/IG implied in DCP and related items
  • Technology reviews concerning all aspects of curation and preservation (metadata, provenance, data integrity, media migration, replication, disaster recovery, assessment criteria, etc.)
  • Data preservation, TRUST principles and certification
  • Providing FAIR data
The Interest Group is entitlement to produce white papers and/or to bring proposed actions to the attention of the IVOA Technical Coordination Group and IVOA Executive.

Topics

  • DOIs: Digital Object Identifier
    DOI-reports-and-feedbacks.pdf : status in IVOA, examples, implementation and advices feedbacks
  • Data origin in the VO : meta-data required to provide sufficient traceability to end-users in order to improve the understanding of the resultsets and enabling its reuse and its citation.

How to participate ?

  • Anyone interested in data curation and preservation is welcome to participate and to register to the mailing-list ( archives) to receive the news.
  • The presentations and discussions are held during the semestrial IVOA meetings, do not hesitate to participate.
