Season 3 Compressed Edition with Sam and Audra
Episode description
Join Open||Source||Data executive producer Audra Montenegro as she and Sam discuss his learnings and takeaways from this season and what the future of open source data looks like.
-------------------
“There's such an open conversation about, ‘Yeah, open source,’ we usually think about open source software. How can we cross apply more of what we think about in software in general into data, and then what is it that's totally new about this domain? So, the answers cluster into three groups. It's either about the source of the data itself is open, meaning this is government data or data that's been made public and it's openly accessible. Or it could be that open source data is how the data is actually produced. Is it using open source tooling? Is it on an open source architecture? And finally, how do you trust that open source data? If it's just a whole bunch of data but it hasn't been labeled, if it hasn't been managed and produced, turned into a product. How do you understand its heritage? How do you understand the lineage of the data so that you can produce trustworthy models and trustworthy results based on it? So it's a big open field, but those are the general responses that people have when we explore that topic.” – Sam Ramji
