What this article itself is presenting is an example of a digital curation (link this) but in the context of digital rhetoric. Digital as relating to, using, or storing data or information in the form of digital signals and rhetoric as language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect on its audience, but often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content. Digital curation, broadly interpreted, is about maintaining and adding value to a trusted body of digital information for both current and future use: in other words, it is the active management and appraisal of digital information over its entire life cycle. (Pennock) Digital curation refers to the actions people take to maintain and add value to digital information over its lifecycle, including the processes used when creating digital content. (Walters, Tyler; Skinner, Katherine)
