Web Observatories and e-Research
- 1. Web Observatories, e-Research and the Importance of Collaboration David De Roure e-Research Centre, University of Oxford ESRC Strategic Adviser for Data Resources @dder
- 2. Overview 1. Big Data for research (UK perspective) 2. Social Media Data is distinctive 3. Several shifts in how scholarship is conducted 4. And hence the context for Web Observatories

- 12. The Big Picture More people Moremachines Big Data Big Compute Conventional Computation “Big Social” Social Networks e-infrastructure online R&D Big Data Production & Analytics deeply about society
- 13. RCUK and Big Data ▶ „Big data is a term for a collection of datasets so large and complex that it is beyond the ability of typical database software tools to capture, store, manage, and analyse them. „Big‟ is not defined as being larger than a certain number of „bytes‟ because as technology advances over time, the size of datasets that qualify as big data will also increase‟ (RCUK)
- 15. Research benefits of new data ▶ Undertaking research on pressing policy-related issues without the need for new data collection • Food consumption, social background and obesity • Energy consumption, housing type and climatic conditions • Rural location, private/public transport alternatives and incomes • School attainment, higher education participation, subject choices, student debt and later incomes ▶ New data such as social media enable us to ask big questions, about big populations, and in real time – this is transformative
- 16. Big Data Network
- 17. Phase 1 and 2
- 18. Research questions – Social and political movements – Political participation and trust – Individual, group/community and national identities – Personal, local, national and global security (including crime, law enforcement and defence) – Rural development and „Urban Transformations‟ – Crisis prevention, preparedness, response, management and recovery – Education – Health and wellbeing (including ageing) – Environment and sustainability – Economic growth and financial markets (including employment and the labour market)

- 28. Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration... The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. The ability to create new forms of social process would be given to the world at large, and development would be rapid.Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999 (pp. 172–175) The Order of Social Machines

- 33. Big data elephant versus sense-making network? The challenge is to foster the co-constituted socio-technical system on the right i.e. a computationally-enabled sense- making network of expertise, data, models, visualisations and narratives Iain Buchan
- 34. PipPip From data to signal to understanding
- 36. The Observatory Context ▶ New forms of data enable us answer old questions in new ways and to address entirely new questions – Especially about (new) social processes ▶ There are multiple shifts occurring: – Academia and business – Volumes and velocity of data – Realtime analytics – Computational infrastructure – Dataflows vs datasets (and curation infrastructure) – Correlation vs causation – Increasing automation and ethical implications – Machine-to-Machine in Internet of Things

Notes de l'éditeur
- EPSRC: Under ‘Big Data’ we are considering both very large and also complex data, including dynamic and heterogenous data from all the various sources including sensors, social media, industry etc.
- ESRC was allocated 64m and much of this is being used to set up the ESRC Big Data Network. The ESRC’s Big Data Network will support the development of a network of innovative investments which will strengthen the UK’s competitive advantage in Big Data for the social sciences. The core aim of this network is to facilitate access to different types of data and thereby stimulate innovative research and develop new methods to undertake that research. Although you should note that diagram it is only illustrative in terms of how the UKDS and ADS will work across – that is still under discussion; and only illustrative in the number of Business and Local Government Data Research.This network has been divided into three phases. In Phase 1 of the Big Data Network the ESRC has invested in the development of the Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN) which will provide access to de-identified administrative data collected by government departments for research use – focus of this meeting and all your grants.A few words about Phase 2 and 3 before we pass to Vanessa to talk about the ADRN some more. Phase 2is currently bring commissioned and will deal primarily with business data and/ or local government data. Phase 3, further details of which will be released in the last autumn / winter and will focus primarily on third sector data and social media data. It is expected that there will be opportunities for interaction across all elements of the ESRC Big Data Network and that they will all work together around the wider objectives of facilitating access to different forms of data and of ensuring maximum impact is generated from the use of that data for the mutual benefit of data owners and researchers, and through the research facilitated by the Network, benefit society and the economy more generally.
