Person (or organisation with a staff of data managers, such as a data centre) responsible for maintaining the finished resource.
DataManager
Ensures the resource is periodically refreshed (software/hardware support), kept available/protected from unauthorized access, stored according to industry standards, and handled according to applicable records management requirements.
Person tasked with reviewing, enhancing, cleaning, or standardizing metadata and the associated data submitted for storage, use, and maintenance within a data centre or repository.
DataCurator
While the DataManager is concerned with digital maintenance, the DataCurator’s role encompasses quality assurance focused on content and metadata. Responsibilities can include checking completeness; verifying standard metadata; adding/verifying specialized metadata; and determining how metadata maps to search engines, database products, and automated feeds. Repository managers and data librarians may fall within this category.

DataCollector
May also be used when crediting survey conductors, interviewers, event or condition observers, or persons responsible for monitoring key instrument data.
Person with knowledge of how to access, troubleshoot, or otherwise field issues related to the resource.
