Data Gator launches a search for his missing sediment samples
in the latest instalment of Swamped? But the samples are nowhere to found, Gator’s
research into swamp ecosystems is doomed, and it’s all metadata’s fault for
being boring and confusing…
FAIR frog decides to ask Ville, a HEAP researcher, how he
uses metadata to keep track of 2 million samples from the Finnish maternity
cohort. Ville also explains how the HEAP platform will work, and how scientists
will be able to request access to raw data from other studies to make their
research truly collaborative.
“Making data accessible” is the third instalment of the “Swamped?”
video series, in which our heroes show you why good data management is
essential for collaborative research and to uncover new scientific insights.
