episode 5: Data Curation: Charting a Path to Reusable Data
Data reuse is crucial to making existing datasets accessible across users, systems and organisations. As we discuss today with Elena Parmiggiani, many questions surround data reuse: how can data be managed, curated and prepared to achieve cross-contextual reusability? How does this affect social and political responsibility across countries, regions and sites of data production?
Elena Parmiggiani is Associate Professor in Digital Collaboration and Computer-Supported Collaborative Work, and Deputy Head of Department for Sustainability at the Department of Computer Science, NTNU, Norway. Her latest work focuses on data curation and management, a topic to which she brings empirical insights on environmental monitoring in Norway and on dynamics occurring - to cite Elena's work - in the "backrooms" of data science.
