Data curation is an end-to-end process of preparing and managing data so business users can easily understand and readily use it. It is a means of managing data that makes it more useful for users engaging in data discovery and analysis. It involves collecting, structuring, indexing, and cataloging data for users in an organization, group, or the general public. Data curation characteristics involve signal identification, robust data management for the whole data cycle, and supporting data governance. The three stages of data curation are – preserving, sharing, and discovering.
