Methods to Evaluate Lifecycle Models for Research Data Management
(January 2019)DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/19691
Abstract
Lifecycle models for research data are often abstract and simple. This comes at the danger of oversimplifying the complex concepts of research data management. The analyses of 90 different lifecycle models lead to two approaches to assess the quality of these models. While terminological issues make direct comparisons of models hard, an empirical evaluation seems possible.
