Teaching Data Creators How to Develop an OAIS-Compliant Digital Curation System: Colearning and Breakdowns in Support of Requirements Analysis

Abstract This article describes a project that a team of researchers from Drexel University's College of Computing and Informatics jointly undertook with the Federal Aviation Administration's W. J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, to develop requirements and a prototype for a data curation repository. The repository is to be OAIS-compliant and capable of allowing FAA scientific researchers across various geographical locations to share and reuse data. An action research methodology was used, which allowed the project team to engage in a series of colearning experiences that led to a negotiated and evolving understanding of requirements. The process of colearning played a key role in allowing a concrete goal and plan to emerge from communication breakdowns.
