Tiropanis, Thanassis (2019) Data observatories: decentralised data and interdisciplinary research. In Internet y Ciencia: Análisis Desde la Complejidad Estructural y Dinámica. 10 pp .
Abstract
Sharing data and observations has been at the centre of academic discourse for centuries. The Internet has enabled new promising methods of sharing, introducing a number of challenges. This paper discusses the concept of data observatories as decentralised platforms for sharing data and observations, and outlines a reference architecture for their deployment. It argues that decentralisation has been a necessity for interdisciplinary research and that it will benefit data-driven innovation beyond academia. It concludes with discussion on the necessary conditions of decentralisation and literacy for innovation and wider engagement in academic discourse.
