<\/p>\nOn the 31st August, over one hundred researchers from across the breadth of the University of Edinburgh met together in the Informatics Forum to discuss the challenges of dealing with the research data. Following-on from the 2014 conference of the same title, the event consisted of twenty presentations on this subject.<\/p>\n
The event was opened by a keynote given by Prof Jonathan Silvertown, talking about his experiences of using crowd-sourced data from citizen scientists, and how to build mechanisms to ensure the quality of the data.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rest of the day was filled with presentations addressing a wide range of data challenges, including topics such as data from the Large Hadron Collider, working with large data sets from China, and data derived from social media. At the end of the event, the topics were pulled together in a closing talk by Kevin Ashley, Director of the Digital Curation Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you attended Dealing with Data 2015, and have not already done so, could you please complete our brief survey at DwD2015 Feedback.<\/a> It should only take 5 minutes and will help us to improve future events.<\/p>\n Programme with presentations<\/strong><\/p>\n 10:00<\/strong> Welcome.
