DESCRIPTION
Content curation is the process of sorting through the vast amounts of content on the web and presenting it in a meaningful and organized way around a specific theme. The work involves sifting, sorting, arranging, and publishing information. A content curator cherry picks the best content that is important and relevant to share with their community. It isn’t unlike what a museum curator does to produce an exhibition: They identify the theme, they provide the context, they decide which paintings to hang on the wall, how they should be annotated, and how they should be displayed for the public. “Content/digital media curation is the addition of 1. content 2. trust and 3. meaning for the benefit of the reader.” Reference sites: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/06/12/content-curation-baby-steps/ http://www.bethkanter.org/content-curation-101/TRANSCRIPT

What is industry curation? It is derived from the idea of heritage interpretation.
Heritage interpretation is used to communicate the nature, origin, and purpose of historical, natural, or cultural resources, objects, sites and phenomena using personal or non-personal methods.
Examples include audio tours of well-known tourist spots or information boards at national parks, or at Te Papa museum, where displays are interpreted for a wide audience.
