The Data Conservancy: A Digital Research and Curation Virtual Organization D4Science World User Meeting sayeed@jhu.edu November 25, 2009 Data Curation TThe Data Conservancy embraces a shared vision: data curation is not an end, but rather a means to collect, organize, validate, and preserve data to address grand research challenges that face society. Goal TThe overarching goal of DC is to support new forms of inquiry and learning to meet these challenges through the creation, implementation, and sustained management of an integrated and comprehensive data curation strategy. …not a rigid road map but principles of navigation. There is no one way to design cyberinfrastructure, but there are tools we can teach the designers to help them appreciate the true size of the solution space – which is often much larger than they may think, if they are tied into technical fixes for all problems. Principles OOur strategy focuses on connection of systems into infrastructure through a program informed by user-centered design and research, sustained through a portfolio of funding streams, and managed through a shared, coordinated governance structure.
