Buzzwords of 2012

Digital curation tools

“Digital curation is an active process whereby content or artefacts are purposely selected to be preserved for future access. In the digital environment, additional elements can be leveraged, such as the inclusion of social media to disseminate collected content, the ability for other users to suggest content or leave comments and the critical evaluation and selection of aggregated content. This latter part especially is important in de!ning this as an active process.”
