Abstract
Responsible data stewardship underlies progress in the information age. The effective curation of digital data contributes toward scientific achievement and advancement, as well as organized and efficient access to data for the good of the general public. Data stewardship supports the ability to use existing data in ongoing research efforts, as well as the ability to re-use data at a later time. Many data repositories operate worldwide to accurately and reliably preserve data for long term storage, use and re-use.; In this project, we seek to adapt a model that characterizes sustainability in an urban planning environment to digital repositories, in order to identify trends in how data is curated and managed, and the particular characteristics that can contribute to sustainability.;
