Abstract The data-intensive research environment and the movement towards open science create demand for information professionals with knowledge of the research process and skills in managing and curating data. This paper is reporting the findings from a multiyear study entitled “Data curator: who is s/he?” initiated by the Library Theory and Research (LTR) Section of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA). The study aimed to identify the roles and responsibilities of data curators around the world and also focused on the terminology used to describe the new professional roles. The following questions were posed: R1: How is data curation defined by practitioners / professional working in the field? R2: What terms are used to describe the roles for professionals in data curation area? R3: What are primary roles and responsibilities of data curators? R4: What are educational qualifications and competencies required of data curators? To answer the research questions, the research team performed a comprehensive literature review and vocabulary analysis and conducted an empirical study using mixed-methods design. The study consisted of three stages: 1. Literature review and vocabulary analysis 2. Content analysis of position announcements 3. Interviews with professionals working in data curation and research data management- Findings confirm the results from previous research about the lack of common terminology and a variability of the position titles. The concept of data lifecycle highlighted the important role of data curators. However this study also found that many positions in practice were held by non library professionals. The findings indicate that data curation is an evolving sociotechnical practice that involves not only technical systems and services structured around research data life cycle but also a range of social activities around community building.

数据策展人的角色和职责:国际视角

摘要数据密集型研究环境以及向开放科学的转移,对具有研究过程知识以及管理和管理数据技能的信息专业人员产生了需求。本文正在报告一项名为“数据管理员:他/他是谁?”的多年研究结果。由国际图书馆协会联合会(IFLA)的图书馆理论与研究(LTR)部门发起。该研究旨在确定世界范围内数据管理员的角色和职责,并且还将重点放在用于描述新的专业角色的术语上。提出了以下问题:R1:该领域的从业人员/专业人员如何定义数据管理?R2:用什么术语来描述数据策划领域专业人员的角色?R3:数据管理员的主要角色和职责是什么?R4:数据管理员需要具备哪些教育资格和能力?为了回答研究问题,研究团队进行了全面的文献综述和词汇分析,并使用混合方法设计进行了实证研究。该研究包括三个阶段:1.文献综述和词汇分析2.职位公告的内容分析3.与从事数据策划和研究数据管理的专业人士的访谈-调查结果证实了先前研究缺乏通用术语和结果的结果职位名称的可变性。数据生命周期的概念突出了数据管理者的重要作用。但是,这项研究还发现,实际上,许多职位是由非图书馆专业人员担任的。
