About

 Seminar "Google Dataset Search: Building an open ecosystem for dataset discovery".

 

There are thousands of data repositories on the Web, providing access to millions of datasets. National and regional governments, scientific publishers and consortia, commercial data providers, and others publish data for fields ranging from social science to life science to high-energy physics to climate science and more. Access to this data is critical to facilitating reproducibility of research results, enabling scientists to build on others’ work, and providing data journalists easier access to information and its provenance. In this talk, we will discuss recently launched Dataset Search by Google, which provides search capabilities over potentially all dataset repositories on the Web. We will talk about the open ecosystem for describing datasets that we hope to encourage.

 

Speaker: Natasha Noy, research scientist at Google Research where she works on making structured data on the Web, in all its different forms, more accessible and useful. Her team has developed Google Dataset Search, which enables users to find datasets stored across the Web. Prior to joining Google, she worked in the Protege group at Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research. Her team developed an ontology-editing and management platform that is used by hundreds of thousands of users. While at Stanford, she worked in areas of the semantic web, ontology development and alignment, and collaborative ontology engineering.
