PDFR114 | The data life cycle provides a high level overview of the stages involved in successful management and
preservation of data for use and reuse. Multiple versions of a data life cycle exist with differences attributable
to variations in practices across domains or communities. The DataONE data life cycle was developed by the
DataONE Leadership Team in collaboration with the broader DataONE community, and built upon the life
cycle model put forward by the National Science Foundation in the original DataNet solicitation. It serves as an
underlying framework for the development of tools, services and education materials by DataONE. | The DataONE Best Practices database provides individuals with recommendations on how to effectively work
with their data through all stages of the data lifecycle. Users can access best practices within the database by
either clicking on a stage of the lifecycle or selecting keywords under search |
