Big data, data analytics, personal data, open data, linked data, metadata, data journalism, data science, data infrastructures…
… and still you can add a new “data” phrase! Data has become a buzzword used in a number of disciplines, by technical and business communities. At the same time, the growing interaction among corporate, governmental and personal information spaces introduces a novel set of opportunities and challenges for the economy.
The DATA ECONOMY workshop – sponsored by YourDataStories – will try to engage scholars and professionals from multiple disciplines including economics, management, open governance, data science, computer science and software engineering in discussions related to how digital data, scattered in decentralised information systems and applications and being accessible via the Web, change the economy and the ways we are doing business.
The workshop is going to to be held at the Internet Science Conference 2017 in Thessaloniki, Greece
Location: Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH)
Date: November 22nd, 2017
More information on the workshop can be found here.
