The CICoE Pilot project developed a data lifecycle (DLC) model that identifies specific stages
of the data flow within MFs – from scientific data collection to ultimate dissemination and use
of the data by scientists. The DLC model also captures the specific functions and services
offered at each DLC stage, the CI supporting each stage, and identifies CI and services that
span and impact multiple DLC stages. The DLC stages are composed of 1) data capture/collection,
2) data processing near the instrument(s), 3) data processing at a central location (data
center), 4) data storage, archiving, and curation, 5) data access, dissemination, and
visualization.
