Within the workflow of data from the source to Pangaea, the data curator plays a keyrole in the archiving process. Curators collect data from the project partners, authors or workpackages, ensure complete metadata documentation and assure data consistency. After import, the curator informs the PI/authors about data availability, asks for proof read and makes corrections until the data set is in aggreement with the authors requirements. Curators are responsible for the accuracy of a data set in terms of technical quality and availability. (Scientific quality is in the responsibility of the authors). Curators may keep the basic rules in mind.

Curators are scientists with an expertise in the scientific field of the data source.

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
 * 3) 2007-11-13 to 2007-11-14
 * 4) 2009 planned
