Dataset Management as a Special Collection

Abstract

There are several dataset management challenges to be faced in the coming years. The incorporation of the datasets into special collections will be a challenge. As well as formats management, libraries with datasets will have to deal with issues such as right management, interoperability or the election adequacy to the end-user and findability. However, it must be recognized that incompatibilities could be solved through data auditing. The appropriate type of digital preservation strategy will have to be considered in order to maintain accessibility.This paper presents a review of the literature that discusses datasets in special collections.
