Open data
This week we will get into the weeds about data. Danica Evering from McMaster’s Research Data Management Services will join us for a lively discussion and in-class exercise using one of McMaster’s recently developed data exploration tools.
Our goals are to:
understand what is meant by open data, as well as potential barriers to publishing open data
discuss best practices in data management
explore the wealth of datasets freely available online
Slides from this week are available here. NOTE: You need to log in to Avenue to access the slides.
