4C - Collaboration to Clarify the Costs of Curation

Summary of Cost Models

Here you see a list of ten current and emerging cost and benefit models that the 4C project has evaluated. If you follow the links you will find a short description of each of the models and a presentation of their core features structured in tables to allow for easy comparison.  

The tables present among other things what information assets the models can handle, which activities they cover, which cost elements and variables they account for, and references for further reading. The intension of these summaries is to provide potential users with a quick overview of what models they may want to use or have a closer look at.
