I have been wanting to write about this subject for a while.  Curation is a hot and emerging topic and there are new products introduced almost weekly that try to tackle the challenge of curation.

Curation is traditionally defined as “The act of organizing and maintaining a collection of artworks or artifacts”.

Curators are knowledgeable about their domain and hence the ability to pick the best work for a collection based on their research and knowledge of the subject matter.

Curation has two defined characteristics – organization and maintenance - Organization implies that you can always access the collection and know where things are - Maintenance implies that you can always add or subtract items in time.
