Exactly my thought as soon as I looked at the lack of comments.
How is it this community can debate some inconsequential nonsense, and there is no discussion here of how we get a consistent set of meta-data for these data sources.
There are researchers both in academia and in the commercial world who would thrive if there were such a list with good consistent meta-data on how to interact with it.
Disclosure: I work regularly with open datasets, and the effort it takes to work with each different set overshadows any effort on actual analysis.
- niels_olson 11y agoI'm building a dataset of images with annotations (svg-like as well as clinically relevant metadata). I would really like to know any papers or people who could help guide the effort. Any suggestions?
- developer2 11y agoI think it's really a political thing. How many of these open datasets come with a license/disclaimer that you are also allowed to rehost the data in its entirety for redistribution? It's one thing to standardize a format for open data, it's another thing to be able to make that standardized format available to everyone if you're repackaging someone else's data.
