Bring Your Own Data Workshops: A Mechanism to Aid Data Owners to Comply with Linked Data Best Practices

چکیده
In the context of stimulating data owners to make data ‘FAIR’ (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), we have developed the concept of the ‘Bring Your Own Data workshop’ (BYOD) for FAIR data. In a BYOD that focuses particularly on a Linked Data (LD) approach, engineers or bioinformaticians who are experts on their own data sources work with LD experts to generate Linked Data on a preselected set of data from their own resource. We report here on the organisation of a BYOD and on our experience from two BYODs, one that was held June 24-25, 2014 in Leiden, the Netherlands, and one that will be held in Rome, Italy, on November 26-27, 20141, following the EpiRare workshop2.

متن کاملYour data is your dogfood: DevOps in the astronomical observatory
DevOps is the contemporary term for a software development culture that purposefully blurs distinction between software development and IT operations by treating “infrastructure as code.” DevOps teams typically implement practices summarised by the colloquial directive to “eat your own dogfood;” meaning that software tools developed by a team should be used internally rather thrown over the fen...
