Data Analyst
A data analyst will, on a routine basis, be charged with data wrangling, checking consistency of data, and for the analytic process by which is it appraised or evaluated, including using the data with various tools, applying specific algorithms, etc. In this context, an analyst may consider packing inputs or outputs from their routine work as RO-crates, perhaps for archiving or for sharing.
