Support rates for interpreting the working framework in eight repositories.
This pie chart shows the support rates for interpreting the working framework in eight repositories. For each of the 47 defined data curation activities, we classified the implementation number aggregated from each organization into four categories (all/multiple/individual/none).

List of classes by category for sequential data curation activities.
This figure shows the list of classes associated with each category for sequential data curation activity. We set the following five categories: "Ingest," "Appraisal," DataProcessing," "DataEvaluation," and "DataPublishing”.

The flow of RUDA’s data curation activities.
This flow diagram describes data dependencies for the data curation activities. The rows show the categories of "Ingest," "Appraisal," "Data Processing," "Data Evaluation," and "Data Publishing.” The columns show five key entities: "Research Data," "Data Document," "Metadata," "Curation Record," and "Landing Page.” Corresponding data curation activities and the generated entity are placed at the intersection of the rows and columns. The generated entity is connected to another data curation activity in which the entity is used by a "used" line.
