 The term digital curation was coined to refer to more active long-term management of digital material.The original call for bids to run the center was withdrawn in July 2003, allowing the UK's e-science programme to add funding for a 4-year research programme to complement the work on education and advocacy funded by Jisc.The revised call from July 2003 required bids by 2003-09-18 with an intention to establish the DCC early in 2004.
