"The term "Data Curator" was introduced 25 years ago and used in the context of digital archiving. The data-driven research landscape, supporters' needs, and the trend toward open science have broadened the understanding of the concept beyond archiving, shifting attention to other aspects of data management and reuse. It also created a need for information professionals with a broader range of responsibilities and competencies. While the term "data curator" continues to be used, especially in the US, new job titles have emerged as librarians and other data experts began working with researchers at various points in the data lifecycle. Research data management (RDM) has emerged as a new field, although it is still challenging to identify a comprehensive set of practices that define it as a coherent discipline. The main objective of the IFLA-LTR project was to identify the roles and responsibilities of data curators and RDM professionals in an international and interdisciplinary context. The study also focused on the terminology describing the new practices and new professional roles. identify the roles and responsibilities of data curators and RDM professionals in an international and interdisciplinary context. The study also focused on the terminology describing the new practices and new professional roles. identify the roles and responsibilities of data curators and RDM professionals in an international and interdisciplinary context. The study also focused on the terminology describing the new practices and new professional roles."
