"Research data management concerns the organisation of data, from its entry to the research cycle through to the dissemination and archiving of valuable results." (Whyte & Tedds, 2011)
"Digital curation, broadly interpreted, is about maintaining and adding value to a trusted body of digital information for current and future use." (DCC 101:6)
