The value of social computing environments has been demonstrated in many contexts, including web search, shared bookmarking and photo sharing, personal social networking, online support groups, and information resources such as Wikipedia. Collaborative game environments have been used as both research environments to study collaboration and as environments for facilitating scientific meetings, and professional organizations and scientific communities also leverage cyberinfrastructure and social network applications to share resources, collect data, and facilitate communication. Virtual worlds have also been applied to support a diverse range of professional and work activities, however, there is so far little empirical evidence on how virtual worlds are adopted and leveraged to promote scientific progress. The exploratory research proposed here aims to explore how virtual worlds can be leveraged in the digital curation community for purposes of improving work practices and training.

社交计算环境的价值已经在许多情况下得到了证明，包括网络搜索，共享书签和照片共享，个人社交网络，在线支持组以及Wikipedia等信息资源。协作游戏环境已被用作研究协作和促进科学会议的环境，专业组织和科学社区也利用网络基础设施和社交网络应用程序来共享资源，收集数据并促进交流。虚拟世界也已应用于支持各种专业和工作活动，但是，关于如何采用和利用虚拟世界来促进科学进步，迄今为止几乎没有经验证据。这里提出的探索性研究旨在探索如何在数字策划社区中利用虚拟世界，以改善工作实践和培训。
