Webcast: The Digital Data Universe of the Future
Webcast: The Digital Data Universe of the Future
Dr. Chris Greer of the National Science Foundation discusses efforts of NSF to develop a strategic vision that provides a national digital framework in which NSF can work with partners in public and private sectors to address data acquisition, access, usage, stewardship and management challenges in a comprehensive way. NSFs five-year goal is twofold:
1) To catalyze the development of a system of science and engineering data collections that is open, extensible and evolvable; and
2) To support development of a new generation of tools and services facilitating data mining, integration, analysis, and visualization essential to turning data into new knowledge and understanding.
Dr. Greer’s presentation was recorded at the Library of Congress on October 11, 2006 and runs 56 minutes.
