Seamless Astronomy: Linking scientific data, publications, and communities
From the webpage:
Seamless integration of scientific data and literature
Astronomical data artifacts and publications exist in disjointed repositories. The conceptual relationship that links data and publications is rarely made explicit. In collaboration with ADS and ADSlabs, and through our work in conjunction with the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS), we are working on developing a platform that allows data and literature to be seamlessly integrated, interlinked, mutually discoverable.
Projects:
- ADS All-SKy Survey (ADSASS)
- Astronomy Dataverse
- WorldWide Telescope (WWT)
- Viz-e-Lab
- Glue
- Study of the impact of social media and networking sites on scientific dissemination
- Network analysis and visualization of astronomical research communities
- Data citation practices in Astronomy
- Semantic description and annotation of scientific resources
A project with large amounts of data for integration.
Moreover, unlike the U.S. Intelligence Community, they are working towards data integration, not resisting it.
