My gut reaction is that curation is the broader term; in a museum context, for example, it applies both to exhibition and collection.<br><br>That being said, the variation in terminology for our field is completely out of control. Here’s a study I did of related job titles advertised on Twitter over a four-year period: [...]Lindsey Memory2023-05-24T13:06:07+00:002023-05-24T13:06:07+00:00Re: "Digital Curation" vs. "Digital Stewardship"https://lists.clir.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=NDSA-INFRASTRUCTURE;6ebf8938.2305Thanks for your input, Nick, and for validating my confusion. I agree that there are too many vague definitions floating amongst groups (and I also have some graphic design qualms with the DCC model). I also agree that we must just pick a term, though I hate feeling like we are contributing to confusion. We librarians are supposed to operate with more precision than this!

I've run into similar<br>problems with DAM, digital preservation, and digital archives. It doesn't<br>help that the definitions tend to be so abstract in their own usage of<br>words. [...]Lindsey Memory2023-05-23T12:54:37+00:002023-05-23T12:54:37+00:00"Digital Curation" vs. "Digital Stewardship"https://lists.clir.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=NDSA-INFRASTRUCTURE;9bd944d1.2305Does anyone know if there an authoritative definition of "digital stewardship" out there, particularly one defining its relationship to the term "digital curation," which has been fairly well defined across the pond by the Digital Curation Centre's Digital Curation Lifecycle model? Asking for an internal taskforce stymied by the number of nigh-interchangeable terms for work with digital content. [...]
