Arcus presents the Library Science team with the opportunity to develop new methods and solutions for addressing a number of important issues. This paper serves to highlight three areas of focus. First, archival appraisal methods will be used for CHOP's large-scale biomedical research data, which presents issues for quality data management and preservation. The Archives will employ expanded appraisal workflows to encompass strong selection and prioritization criteria before a collection is ingested, as opposed to current archival research data frameworks, which situate appraisal after a collection is acquired. Second, CHOP research data efforts will be organized as archival collections because they offer a framework for encapsulating research and mapping the relationships between a dataset, software, protocols and other contextual information critical to data reproducibility. Third, a custom descriptive metadata schema is being developed because archival item-level descriptive metadata doesn't address the complex discovery needs of diverse biomedical data. This will require addressing tension between archival arrangement and the item-level descriptive metadata required for discovery. 收起
