ODI Lunchtime Lecture: Why can't I find data?
Channel: Open Data Institute
Date: 2018-03-23

In this lunchtime lecture Laura Koesten and Emilia Kacprzak,  PhD students working on the WDAqua project, will describe why data on the web is still so hard to find. They will discuss how we can help people find and make sense of data, by improving the experience of data search and summarising datasets.
They will also talk us through their imagining of how data search will look like in the future based on their research at the ODI over the past 2.5 years.
