'Jake Carlson' 'Sophia Lafferty-Hess' 'Surya Saha'] Data curation encompasses a range of actions undertaken to ensure that research data are fit for purpose and available for discovery and reuse, and can help to improve the likelihood that data is more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). The Data…

Understanding and analyzing big data is firmly recognized as a powerful and strategic priority. For deeper interpretation of and better intelligence with big data, it is important to transform raw data (unstructured, semi-structured and structured data sources, e.g., text, video, image data sets) into curated data…

'Kazutsuna Yamaji' 'Anna Bernasconi'] In recent years, with the trend of open science, there have been many efforts to share research data on the internet. To promote research data sharing, data curation is essential to make the data interpretable and reusable. In research fields such as life sciences, earth sciences…

This is the second part of a two-part essay on memory and its inseparable nemesis, forgetting. It looks at memory from a computational perspective in terms of function and constraints, in the rational spirit of Marr (1982) or Anderson (1989). The core question is: How to fit an infinite past into finite storage? The…

Commonly, curated data are stored in text files and tabulated spreadsheets. Although storing data in such forms may be useful in some cases, it is almost always better to persist the data and any curation that has been undertaken using a technology that offers long-term stability and versioning. This may be as simple…

Facility management, which concerns the administration, operations, and maintenance of buildings, is a sector undergoing significant changes while becoming digitalized and data driven. In facility management sector, companies seek to extract value from data about their buildings. As a consequence, craftsmen, such as…

Metadata curation has become increasingly important for biological discovery and biomedical research because a large amount of heterogeneous biological data is currently freely available. To facilitate efficient metadata curation, we developed an easy-to-use web-based curation application, GEOMetaCuration, for curating…

A method for data review in chemical sciences with a focus on data for the characterization of synthetic molecules is described. As current procedures for data curation in chemistry rely almost exclusively on manual checking or peer reviewing, a (semi-)automatic procedure for the evaluation of data assigned to…

The primary bottleneck in understanding and modeling biological systems is shifting from data collection to data analysis and integration. This process critically depends on data being available in an organized form, so that they can be accessed, understood, and reused by a broad community of scientists. A proven…

With a large increase in the volume and type of data archived in GigaDB since its launch in 2011, we have studied the metrics and user patterns to assess the important aspects needed to best suit current and future use. This has led to new front-end developments and enhanced interactivity and functionality that greatly…

The precision of thermodynamic modeling for ionic liquid (IL)–solute systems is fundamentally reliant on the quality of experimental data. However, prevalent databases such as ILThermo frequently exhibit conflicting measurements for the same systems under identical temperature and pressure conditions. These disparities…
