About the Webinar
Big Data is the catch-phrase of the day, and for good reason. It appears that everything is being digitized and as such, huge data sets are now suddenly available to researchers and data scientists. But how do they use all of this data? The idea of having anything we need just a few clicks away is exciting, but when the data is not created in a way that is easily searchable and extractable, access is limited. Additionally, there are issues about ownership, management, preservation, and the rights the library offering it may or may not have regarding access. This webinar will discuss these issues and try to find the happy medium between policy and practicality.

Introduction
Speaker
Data Publishing Workflows
Speaker
Workflows for data publishing can be varied and are frequently dependent upon both the publication outlet and the discipline in question. The RDA-WDS Data Publishing Workflows working group studied the current data publishing workflow landscape across disciplines and publication outlets - from small to big data solutions. We present the common elements of data publication that we identified following our survey of a diverse set of workflows, along with recommendations, challenges, and next steps.
