ICSTI Half Day Workshop: Data and Non-Data Integration, October 16, Ottawa
 
Immediately following its 2013 General Assembly hosted by National Research Canada-NRC in Ottawa on October 14-15, ICSTI will hold, on the morning of October 16, 2013, a Half-Day Workshop on  Data and Non-Data Integration: A Journey Across Disciplines. This event is part of the 2nd Annual CASRAI International Conference taking place on October 16-18, the central theme for which is Big Data : The Advance of Data-Driven Discovery.
 
 
Thanks to the creativity and innovation of scientists, libraries, publishers, and information and technology communities, scientific discovery is being accelerated through the seamless integration and synthesis of digital data and non-data (e.g., text, multimedia, visualization).  Rapidly making sense of huge volumes of data and facilitating easy navigation between data and non-data are enablers of new knowledge – and discovery.  This workshop will explore how this integration is taking place across a broad range of disciplines, such as environmental sciences, life sciences, chemistry, engineering, geosciences, and crystallography.
