Data Curation

Data Curation is about generating, managing, and maintaining data for future use.

‘Curation comes from the Latin word curae, meaning "care for" -- a meaning it still has today, including in relation to data.’

Data Curation is about taking care of the data from start till end. From extracting till loading. From management to governance. From raw till transformed. From generation till secured and private storage. From open till encryption. As the name says, CARE FOR. Data Curation is also about taking steps to preserve data for future reference as well. Data Curation is the process of preparing data for business and for decision support systems. There is nothing complex about its definition 😊.
