Data Integration Challenges & Strategies for Advanced GeoAnalytics
NLT presented on data integration challenges and strategies at the Esri User Conference in San Diego last week. The presentation was part of the Meeting Data Interoperability Challenges session on Thursday morning.
Summary: In recent years there has been an acceleration in the collection and publishing of digital data about people, places, and phenomena of all kinds. This increased availability presents great opportunities for answering new questions and improving understanding of the world by integrating previously disparate datasets such as weather and demographics. However, integrating such diverse data remains a challenge because of potential disparities in coverage, quality, compatibility, confidentiality, and update frequency, among others. Developing strategies for handling these inconsistencies is critical for anyone interested in leveraging the data for analytical purposes. This work discusses approaches to managing these challenges by examining the development of a series of innovative national public data products and applications from the U.S. Census Bureau as a case study.
The presentation is available on Prezi.
