The Site‐Based Data Curation (SBDC) project is developing a framework of guidelines and processes for the curation of research data generated at scientifically significant sites. SBDC will advance the professional work of curation by articulating principles, workflows and inter‐institutional relationships essential for site‐based curation. Work to date has concentrated on stakeholder analysis, with results informing metadata guidelines for capture of essential site‐based specifics and clarifying the value in aggregating data around site factors for both scientist and YNP stakeholder groups.
