SELECTION AND APPRAISAL OF DATA FORM EDITH HOPE CHAVULA (MLIS0225)

Introduction Selection and appraisal serve as the foundational gateway within the digital curation lifecycle, directly dictating which data assets merit long-term preservation infrastructure. The rapid expansion of information generation renders the preservation of all digital assets financially and operationally impossible (Higgins, 2018; Whyte & Wilson, 2010). Digital curation systematically mitigates this information overload by employing objective criteria to separate transitory data from materials with enduring secondary research value (Lee & Tibbo, 2021).

Digital curation process Introduction Digital preservation and curation ensure that diverse electronic resources remain accessible, authentic, and understandable over time. As reliance on digital storage grows, protecting these assets becomes critical. However, constant threats compromise long-term data integrity, making an understanding of these challenges fundamental to developing sustainable curation strategies (Corrado & Sandy, 2017). Rapid technological obsolescence and physical media deterioration severely threaten digital materials. Evolving systems render formats like floppy disks or old word-processor fi...
