Abstract
In this paper, analysis is made on the roles of different participants in data curation, including the government, scientific research institutes and researchers, IT and network centers, data centers and STI agencies, to define their specific functions in data curation. It is pointed out that due to the influence of the “social stereotype”, STI agencies engaged in data curation is taken for granted and they have accumulated fully-fledged infrastructure, professional human resources necessary for data curation and certain theoretical and practical experience in data curation, but that improvements are still needed in terms of privileges in access and management of scientific data, IT and organization and processing of scientific data. It is proposed that in the curation system of scientific data, STI agencies should be engaged mainly in curation of long tail data, participation in preparation of policies, regulations and standards for data curation, archiving and long-term storage of scientific data, provision of embedded services in data curation during the whole lifecycle, and education and training concerning competency in data curation.
