Description: This document details the Curation Analysis System (CAS) method. It outlines the two primary dimensions of analysis:
Content Dimension: Evaluates aspects such as the quantity of curated content, its time range (e.g., retrospective or real-time), origin (internal or external), and source characteristics (type and format).
Curation Dimension: Focuses on curatorial processes, including authorship visibility, techniques like summarising or quoting, and the journalistic purpose of links (e.g., informing or contextualising).
Purpose: To guide the evaluation process by defining the parameters and procedures used in scoring and analysis.
