Abstract

The general objective of the present study is to analyze data life cycle models from the perspective of Digital Curation. The specific objectives are: to build a theoretical framework on Digital Curation; carry out a comparative study between the Digital Curation Center Curation Lifecycle Model, the DataONE Lifecycle Model, the Data Life Cycle Labs Model and the Big Data Life Cycle Model. The present study is qualitative in nature, and descriptive and exploratory in nature. The method used was Design Thinking. From the analysis of each of the data life cycles, it was possible to observe some correspondences with the Digital Curation Life Cycle. It is noteworthy that none of the models presented elements for community participation. In this context, it is possible to adapt the Digital Curation life cycle according to the needs of the community it is intended for. It is necessary to consider the structure of other models for data curation, and understand their possible applications and convergences with Digital Curation, with the aim of including their practices in the model. This would allow adaptations to the original model according to the needs of the community and the nature of the data processed.
