TUTORIAL

Data Ecosystems: Repositories in Digital Ecosystems

Lecturers:

Tobias Blanke - King's College London, UK
Mark Hedges - King's College London, UK

The tutorial is motivated by the potential of a cluster of related technologies that address the management of digital assets in digital libraries or repositories within digital ecosystems, and by the benefits that will be obtained by increasing interaction and cooperation between researchers and practitioners in these fields. The digital material generated from and used by academic and other researchers is to an increasing extent being held in formal data management systems. These systems are variously categorised as digital repositories, libraries or archives, although the distinction between them relates more to the sort of data they contain and the use to which the data is put, rather than to major differences in functionality. In this tutorial, Tobias and Mark will present the general model of repository applications and will demonstrate several systems that use these principles to enable exploration of large data sets. The tutorial will cover the state of the art in this rapidly growing area of research. Several real world applications will be presented, which take the first steps towards a data ecosystem for research and business.
