Data Curation for LTER: The Case of K-ecohub

In LTER, curation activities play very essential role for data discovery and retrieval, quality control, and reuse over time. The K-ecohub system is a pilot repository to preserve long-term Korean national ecological data. The repository has been designed so as to manage and share data in an efficient manner. The paper presents the workflowbased data curation process in K-ecohub, which promotes collaboration and facilitates contribution from experts in the LTER field and also provides a way to automate and customize curation activities depending on the data types.
