Within the organisation around Pangaea, the data managers from projects or institutes are called Data curator. Curators of projects should collect data from the partners, ensure complete metadata documentation and make data consistent for archiving. They import data sets, inform the PI about availability, ask for proof read and make corrections. Curators are responsible for the accuracy of a data set in terms of technical quality and availability via the clients of Pangaea. (Scientific quality is in the responsibility of the authors). Curators may keep the basic rules in mind.

Curators are named on the project pages of the WDC-MARE (or other) web sites.

Curator workshops for advanced training and information exchange are executed in irregular intervals:


 * 1) 2004-03-03 to 2004-03-04
 * 2) 2006-01-18 to 2006-01-19
