This poster will present efforts to translate human-readable data curation policies into rule-based curation through middleware (iRODS). As part of the DataNet Federation Consortium, the interaction of ISO 16363, basic digital data curation and data lifecycle management, information technology security, and end-user considerations are being examined by the DFC Policies, Facilities and Operations, and Techology Groups. The goal is to identify overlap and synergies in the human-readable policies and to map those onto iRODS microservices. Activities such as this will have a longer-term impact in areas such as implementing funder requirements for such things a data management plans, and to help ensure data preservation and facilitate reuse throughout the data lifecycle.
