Meeting title
Data Discovery Paradigms IG: Reports from Task Forces and Way Ahead
Short introduction describing the activities and the scope of the group:
The objectives of this IG are to provide a forum where representatives from across the spectrum of stakeholders and roles pertaining to data search can discuss issues related to improving data discovery. The goal is to identify concrete deliverables such as a registry of data search engines, common test datasets, usage metrics, and a collection of data search use cases and competency questions.
After the last meeting, we have identified 5 key areas to focus on:
- Guidelines for making data findable
- Relevancy ranking
- Use cases, prototyping tools and test collections
- Metadata enrichment
- Cataloging common API's
Task forces have been started to explore each of these topics, who will report back at this meeting.
