== PANGAEA Data Curation Levels ==

PANGAEA curation levels are NOT describing the quality or the scientific significance of any archived data sets. It is used to elicit whether data has been archived unchanged as submitted by data producers or the content was enhanced by standardization and harmonisation steps prior to or during data curation and thus provides enhanced metadata description. PANGAEA is aiming to make data always as FAIR as possible according to FAIR principles ([[Curation_levels#References|Wilkinson et al., 2016]]). The used definitions are adopted from the [[Curation_levels#References|Core Trust Seal curation levels]] and the GFBio data curation levels. PANGAEA provides the following data curation levels:

'''“Basic curation” = Metadata curation:''' <br>Editorial metadata check, data set has mandatory [[metadata]] or documentation. Static/Binary files (e.g. tables). Data values not entered into PANGAEA’s relational database system. Receive DOI upon publication.

'''“Enhanced curation” = Metadata and data curation:''' <br>Conversion to PANGAEA compatible formats, enhancement of documentation by data values are usually incorporated into PANGAEA’s relational database. Data is quality checked, harmonized & standardised. Extended Metadata (e.g. parameters, methods) are assigned to all data. Receive DOI upon publication.

=== Definitions ===

Data Curator (synonym: Data Editor): A domain expert tasked with reviewing, enhancing, cleaning, or standardizing metadata and the associated data submitted to PANGAEA

Data producer: A PANGAEA user submitting data.

Metadata: Metadata summarize all necessary information about data in a structured way to make the data understandable and machine readable.

Most of the Creative Commons licenses are used in Version 4.0, which addresses [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sui_generis_database_right sui generis database rights (SGDRs)] in addition to copyright and the other copyright-like rights covered in earlier versions. Because SGDRs can impede a user's ability to share, reuse, and modify a work in the same way that copyright can, 4.0 makes it clear that these permissions apply to works that would otherwise be restricted by SGDRs as well. These version have no country specific variants. Older data were published under 3.0 version.

Additionally, PANGAEA can accomodate community-specific license agreements.

Data sets can be [[password]] protected (under moratorium) on request of the author. In this case the data can be accessed via a login which is available from the author and metadata are public.

In unpublished data sets (with [[status]] "in review", "questionable " or "validated") the license is not shown.
