Session Description:
Small research data (‘Long-tail data’) have a huge potential to contribute to the advancement of science, growing BIG in value: Like pieces of a puzzle that create a picture when put together correctly, small data, when properly curated and aggregated, can reveal large-scale temporal and spatial patterns that lead to major new scientific discoveries. This session intends to highlight success stories how long tail data have been aggregated into ‘BIG’ data collections and lead to new scientific insights, and to draw attention to the technical, organizational, and cultural challenges and solutions of developing and sustainably operating data systems that advanced mining and analysis of small data. We encourage contributions that describe science generated from syntheses of small data; data models and ontologies used to aggregate small data; tools for mining and analyzing small data; solutions for sustainable domain-specific data curation; and approaches to advance a culture of open data sharing.
