Registration: Ask for consent if we can curate record metadata after people depart from TUW
In our registration form, we should ask our users if they consent to the following: When they leave TU Wien, we at the center for research data management get the permission to curate their uploaded records' metadata unless somebody else has been nominated for this right. This agreement is optional (potentially pre-checked), and stored in the user profile where this setting can be managed at later points too.
This doesn't mean that we're going to completely alter the content of the metadata, but rather mostly minor updates to increase the FAIRness of the dataset and keep it "alive".
We need to be careful with the wording here in order to not "scare" people away, and make it clear that the consent to this is optional (although recommended).
Also, we need to check if this conflicts with our assertion in the repository's policy that the uploader is responsible for their uploaded content.
