<p><strong>Definition</strong> </p><p><strong><!----></strong> </p><p><strong><!----></strong>Data Curator ''performs annotation, publication and presentation of the data such that the value of the data is maintained over time, and the data remains available for reuse and preservation. This role follows all the processes needed for a controlled data creation, maintenance, and management, together with the capacity to add value to data". In few words the data curator makes data scientists more productive. </p><p>Data Curator implements and verifies a set of preservation and valorisation activities on the basis of a set of requirements defined during the initial phase of the curation exercise. These include all the processes that involve data management (e.g. generation, ingestion, access and dissemination), as well as valorisation activities (e.g. cross-fertilisation, generation of time series and FDRs, etc.) and data set certification. </p><p><strong>Source</strong> </p><p><a href="https://ceos.org/document_management/Working_Groups/WGISS/Interest_Groups/Data_Stewardship/White_Papers/EO-DataStewardshipGlossary.pdf"> CEOS/WGISS/DSIG/GLOS</a> </p><p><a href="https://ceos.org/document_management/Working_Groups/WGISS/Interest_Groups/Data_Stewardship/White_Papers/EO-DataStewardshipGlossary.pdf"><span class="diff-html-added" id="added-diff-0" previous="first-diff" changeId="added-diff-0" next="last-diff">CEOS EO Data Stewardship Glossary</span></a><span class="diff-html-added" previous="first-diff" changeId="added-diff-0" next="last-diff"> </span></p><p><span class="diff-html-added" previous="first-diff" changeId="added-diff-0" next="last-diff">NESDIS Data Management Lexicon and Related Terms </span></p><p><strong>Category</strong> </p><p><a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcalvalportal.ceos.org%2Ft-d_wiki%3Fp_p_id%3D54_INSTANCE_Wg3ti1194i20%26p_p_lifecycle%3D0%26p_p_state%3Dnormal%26p_p_mode%3Dview%26p_p_col_id%3Dcolumn-2%26p_p_col_count%3D1%26_54_INSTANCE_Wg3ti1194i20_struts_action%3D%252Fwiki_display%252Fview%26_54_INSTANCE_Wg3ti1194i20_nodeName%3DCEOS_Terms_and_Definitions%26_54_INSTANCE_Wg3ti1194i20_title%3D4.%2BData%2BStewardship%2Bwords&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cfaye.lai%40npl.co.uk%7C71d207afa14d469389d808d988e92c16%7C601e5460b1bf49c0bd2de76ffc186a8d%7C1%7C0%7C637691357310862875%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=Ortjy2bF482FB%2Fu8940Qmf4JHeBYPdFdaqG9Av4rin8%3D&amp;reserved=0">4.
