THE DATA PROBLEM IN SCIENCE
THE DATA PROBLEM
UNFINDABLE Data is fragmented and poorly indexed
UNUSABLE Data often lacks context (metadata) to be
usable by others
The amount of data in the
world doubles every two years

REUSABLE Licensed, high quality, unique entries
Focus on “enhancing the ability of machines to automatically find and use the data, in addition to supporting
reuse by individuals” Wilksinson, Mark D. et al. , Scientific Data 3 (2016)
