Metadata management: Enhanced data services with structured metadata

CLOSER, the home of longitudinal research, is the interdisciplinary partnership of leading social and biomedical longitudinal population studies. We are based at the UCL Social Research Institute (SRI).Our mission is to increase the visibility, use and impact of longitudinal population studies, data and research to ensure that longitudinal evidence is used to address the health, social, economic and environmental challenges facing the UK, now and in the future.CLOSER is funded by theEconomic and Social Research Council(ESRC).

CLOSER | The home of longitudinal research

The second webinar in our series, Metadata management in the real world will  focus on enhanced data services with structured metadata.

The second webinar in our series, Metadata management in the real world will showcase new developments at Metadata Technology North America (MTNA) and the UK Data Service. Both organisations are tackling some of the practical problems that face every researcher and data analyst.Both organisations have a similar approach which leverages underlying metadata to drive ‘services’ to discover, explore, visualise and sub-set data with the minimum of  data wrangling.<h2>Presentations</h2>Rich Data Services: Pascal Heus &amp; Carson Hunter (Metadata Technology)The presentation will focus on Rich Data Services (RDS), an innovative platform from Metadata Technology North America aiming to the delivery of data as a service. Features includes an industry standard REST based API, concurrent access to data and metadata, web-based applications for exploring, tabulating, or downloading the data, and much more. RDS aims to empowering information systems, reducing data wrangling, and overall modernising data publication and access. It broadly serves data producers, data scientists, traditional researchers, application developers, and casual users.For more information, visit the <a href="https://www.richdataservices.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Rich Data Services</a> website.Smart Energy Research Laboratory – Darren Bell (UK Data Service)This presentation will focus on the Smart Energy Research Lab (SERL) a five-year consortium project between the UK Data Archive and University College London. The presentation will describe how we have approached storing cross-disciplinary data at scale using a variety of data models including wide column store and property graph on a Hadoop platform.  We will consider some of the challenges in treating data at the data point level and how going forward, this can support a &quot;domain agnostic&quot; and truly interoperable approach to subsetting variable data and generating bespoke data products in real time form sources as diverse as IoT meter data and &quot;traditional&quot; social science surveys.<h2>Registration and accessing the webinar</h2>This webinar will be delivered via Zoom.
