Data Ontology 101

  • Columbia University 116th St and Broadway New York, NY, 10027 (map)

You hear about Big Data all of the time: an organization has more data than can fit in a csv file and it’s too much for one computer to hold, and much more than one person can sort through manually. Before you start fitting your models or presenting your visualizations, how do you even find what you’re looking for? How do you organize Big Data?

In this workshop, we’ll give you the rundown on Data Ontologies, a way of efficiently organizing data such that you can automatically glean the nature and relationships of disparate data elements, and therefore easily find and collect what you’re looking for. Understanding the importance of ontologies is yet another important skill in the data scientist/data engineer toolkit, and it is becoming increasingly more common in organizations of all sizes. The workshop, led by the CDSS E-board, will be interactive, and will include a Q/A at the end. See you there!
