Abstract
Within data repositories and archives, evaluation guidelines and criteria used to appraise and select an object for ingest can have crucial impact on the subsequent curation workflow. The decisions made during the appraisal and selection process can greatly affect the compatibility, effectiveness, and cohesiveness of the data and resources that are made available by repositories and archives. This poster presents the motivations and objectives for creating the Research Data Archive Dataset Appraisal and Selection System at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. An overview of the analysis process that was used to determine the system implementation requirements will also be provided. Additionally, features and capabilities of the current system will be presented along with the summary of the functions that are under consideration for the next phase of implementation. The poster concludes with the discussion on the benefits of such a system to any repository or archive that aims to provide data stewardship for longevity.
