Google Dataset Search - Building an open ecosystem for dataset discovery

Join us as the Melbourne Centre for Data Science hosts Natasha Noy, a senior staff scientist at Google Research, who works on making structured data accessible and useful. She leads the team building Dataset Search, a search engine for all the datasets on the Web.

There are thousands of data repositories on the Web, providing access to millions of datasets. National and regional governments, scientific publishers and consortia, commercial data providers, and others publish data for fields ranging from social science to life science to high-energy physics to climate science and more. Access to this data is critical to facilitating reproducibility of research results, enabling scientists to build on others’ work, and providing data journalists easier access to information and its provenance. In this talk, we will discuss recently launched Dataset Search by Google, which provides search capabilities over potentially all dataset repositories on the Web. We will talk about the open ecosystem for describing datasets that we hope to encourage.

This event is part of the Melbourne Centre for Data Science’s Seminar Series. The Melbourne Centre for Data Science Seminar Series is an engaging monthly virtual seminar series hosting international experts and covering various focus areas and current research in data science.

This month the Centre hosts Natasha Noy, a senior staff scientist at Google Research where she works on making structured data accessible and useful. She leads the team building Dataset Search, a search engine for all the datasets on the Web.
