Introducing the CLARIN-NL Data Curation Service

In this paper we introduce the CLARIN-NL Data Curation Service. We highlight its tasks and its mediating position between researchers and the CLARIN Data Centres. We outline a scenario for successful data curation and stress the need to take notice of the factors that determine the desirability and feasibility of data curation. Finally, we present and discuss an exemplary case that illustrates the relevant issues involved in setting up a data curation plan.
