Abstract
Lifecycle management of digital materials can help conceptualisation of the stages required to successfully curate digital material. A number of discipline specific models, and more generally applicable standards, have been developed which can be used as a basis when planning and implementing organisational management of digital material. The generic Draft DCC Curation Lifecycle Model identifies curation actions applicable either across the whole digital lifecycle or sequentially throughout it. Domain specific models, with greater granularity, will be developed to ensure readily accessible advice.

A lifecycle approach to the management of digital materials enables visualisation of the processes, activities and relationships required for successful curation and longterm preservation
A number of disciplines and projects have developed lifecycle models for digital assets, which serve as the framework for the detailed planning activities required by particular domains
Summary
Sarah Higgins *, Standards Advisor, Digital Curation Centre, University of Edinburgh. A number of discipline specific models, and more generally applicable standards, have been developed which can be used as a basis when planning and implementing organisational management of digital material. The Draft DCC Curation Lifecycle Model (see Figure 1 below) provides a generic graphical high-level overview of the stages required for successful curation and preservation of digital material from initial conceptualisation. The model enables granular functionality to be mapped against it to define roles and responsibilities, and build a framework of standards and technologies to implement It can help with the process of identifying additional steps which may be required, or actions which are not required by certain situations or disciplines, and of ensuring that processes and policies are adequately documented
