Template:Mbalducc Shared Week 5

1. The core competency that I'm most familiar with/ skilled in is probably Metadata. I think that I've gained familiarity with this by doing labs at school where every detail about data collected is important. I've learned that it's important to have as much information about the data as possible in order to fully understand the data itself.
2. A core competency that I'd like to become more familiar with is data preservation. I know that it is important to make sure the data is well preserved, otherwise it becomes useless. I'd like to know how to do this well, so that I can be sure that my data or someone else's data that I'm viewing is safe.
