Data Collection Accuracy and Precision
Collection: collate and combine data and metadata from different sources
Accuracy: the degree of closeness to the accepted standard
Precision: reproducible, repeatability of a measurement, low variability of values
Accuracy: implies the level of agreement
Precision: illustrates the level of variation
Pictorial illustration
Data Curation
- Organize and integrate data from different sources
- Enhance the value of data and maintain over time
- Active management of research data to produce FAIR datasets
FAIR
- Findable: easy to find data and metadata
- Accessible: retrievable, open, free and universally implementable
- Interoperable: broad application across platform and language
- Reusable: can be replicated and meet relevant domain standards
Relevance
- Scientific reproducibility: a common pedestal for data professionals and researchers
- Curation for reproducibility: ensures validation of statistical and analytic claims
- Data curation: the genesis of software curation and reproducibility
