Data Sharing in Infrastructure and Urban Systems
Dr Joanne Leach
Dr Leach will present the outcomes from two workshops: one held with infrastructure and urban systems practitioners and related industries, and the other with academics working within urban observatories. Each group faces particular pressures that influence their ability to share data (such as commercial sensitivities and the ability to handle near-live data streaming), but they also recognise the opportunities afforded by sharing data and see the potential in taking a ‘data-sharing first’ approach to their work.
Wednesday 25th September 2024, 12 noon – 1pm
Challenges and Opportunities in Data Sharing
Dr Brian Matthews
Dr. Brian Matthews leads the DAFNI and Data Science and Technology Group at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). He has over 30 years of experience in R&D development in computing, with a focus on tools, methods and standards for managing accessing research data from scientific experiments. He took a leading role in the development of the data management infrastructure that supports the ISIS Neutron and Diamond Light Sources, and has worked extensively on European programmes on Data Infrastructures. He leads the DAFNI team, developing data and modelling infrastructure to support research into national infrastructure. He is co-investigator on the Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure programme, an emerging initiative to enable interoperable data sharing in the chemical and materials sciences.
Wednesday 16th October 2024, 12 noon – 1pm
