Role of Libraries in managing micro-data
by Atanu Garai 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

Hi All, Our partner conducts a lot of surveys to measure water quality using ODK (an open source survey framework) and they would like to publish those datasets (survey data, questionnaire) in the Digital Library. Our initial reading of literature on this topic suggests that Libraries can play a key role in managing the microdata (or big data), especially in the academic and research contexts. I would be happy to get your inputs on the requirements, for example: 1. How do you want to bring the microdata in digital library platform from the survey app 2. How do you want to let the user discover microdata? Will it have the same search and filter interface that uses to discover documents? 3. How do you want to present such data to the user - table, data visualization? This will help team SocialWell to evolve a design framework that caters to a wider requirement. Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell m: +91 97761.83915 a: Flat T-11/805, Tata Ariana, Mahalaxmi Vihar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751029 IN w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> e: atanu(a)socialwell.net<mailto:atanu@socialwell.net> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
