The resulting communication of signs generated from genomic curation work, was found within different semantic levels of DIK that correlate specific data quality dimensions with their respective skills. Syntactic data quality dimensions were ranked the highest among all other semiotic data quality dimensions, which indicated that scientists spend great efforts for handling data wrangling activities in genome curation work. Semantic- and pragmatic-related sign communications were about meaningful interpretation, thus required additional adaptive and interpretative skills to deal with data quality issues. This expanded concept of \u2018curation\u2019 as sign\/semiotic was not previously explored from the practical to the theoretical perspectives. The findings inform policy makers and practitioners to develop framework and cyberinfrastructure that facilitate the initiatives and advocacies of \u2018Big Data to Knowledge\u2019 by funding agencies. The findings from this study can also help plan data quality assurance policies and thus maximise the efficiency of genomic data management. Our results give strong support to the relevance of data quality skills communication for relationship with data quality assurance in genome curation activities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551517748291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,12]],"date-time":"2018-01-12T02:16:53Z","timestamp":1515723413000},"page":"785-801","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Big data to knowledge \u2013 Harnessing semiotic relationships of data quality and skills in genome curation work"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8957-4881","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information, University of South Florida, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/asi.21652"},{"key":"bibr2-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/EUM0000000007095"},{"key":"bibr3-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ncb0107-2"},{"key":"bibr4-0165551517748291","volume-title":"Proceedings of the first congress of the international association for semiotic studies","author":"Chatman SB","year":"1974"},{"key":"bibr5-0165551517748291","volume-title":"Course in general linguistics","author":"De Saussure F","year":"1983"},{"key":"bibr6-0165551517748291","volume-title":"The pursuit of signs: semiotics, literature, deconstruction","author":"Culler JD","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr7-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-349-15849-2"},{"key":"bibr8-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511543364"},{"key":"bibr9-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203550977"},{"key":"bibr10-0165551517748291","volume-title":"The organic codes: the birth of semantic biology","author":"Barbieri M","year":"2001"},{"key":"bibr11-0165551517748291","first-page":"253","volume":"1","author":"Abel DL","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Biosemiotics"},{"key":"bibr12-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/227561a0"},{"key":"bibr13-0165551517748291","volume-title":"Philosophical writings of Peirce","author":"Peirce CS","year":"1955"},{"key":"bibr14-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/014492900118768"},{"key":"bibr15-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/00220411311295315"},{"key":"bibr16-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551508099606"},{"key":"bibr17-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551510381842"},{"key":"bibr18-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/00220410310499564"},{"key":"bibr19-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1108\/JD-08-2012-0101"},{"key":"bibr20-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.1450430166","volume":"43","author":"Huang SC","year":"2006","journal-title":"Proc Am Soc Inform Sci Technol"},{"key":"bibr21-0165551517748291","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Eco U.
