Toby Green: Data, data everywhere

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Open access promises a great deal, but will your dataset be lost in cyberspace and remain unused? What are you doing to ensure discovery and utility for a range of publics? In this session you'll learn about the work done at OECD to make data both discoverable and useful to experts and lay users alike. You'll be introduced to OECD's citation tool and see some of the visualizations being developed to make data tell stories. You'll also see how OECD is presenting its datasets alongside books and journals in a single, seamless, service that is part of the global information network for researchers and students. Finally, Christmas comes early for anyone with an iPhone or iPad. Open Data? There's an OECD App for that.

Equal

rights

for data!

NOW!

What does it take to make data equal?

Dataset home page with DOI

Datasets in aggregation platforms

Alerts when new data is released

More data like this!

Links from statistician’s home page

Datasets listed on sites like arXiv?

MARC records for OPACs

Datasets in A&I services

Links from statistical societies

And

this is

a lot of

work!

And here’s one we prepared earlier

Periodicals

Books Working Papers

Datasets Data Tables

Networked ebooks and ejournals

One search engine

710 Datasets

10,081 Tables

And every single one with

equal bibliographic status to books, journals and working papers.

And because we’re using the same bibliographic systems . . .
