Data mining. Process of extracting and discovering patterns in large data sets Data mining is the process of extracting and discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and database systems.[1] Data mining is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science and statistics with an overall goal of extracting information (with intelligent methods) from a data set and transforming the information into a comprehensible structure for further use.[1][2][3][4] Data mining is the analysis step of the "knowledge discovery in databases" process, or KDD.[5] Aside from the raw analysis step, it also involves database and data management aspects, data pre-processing, model and inference considerations, interestingness metrics, complexity considerations, post-processing of discovered structures, visualization, and online updating.[1] Etymology[edit] Background[edit] The manual extraction of patterns from data has occurred for centuries.
Process[edit] Open Data Institute | Knowledge for everyone. Putting Government Data online. Up to Design Issues Abstract Government data is being put online to increase accountability, contribute valuable information about the world, and to enable government, the country, and the world to function more efficiently. All of these purposes are served by putting the information on the Web as Linked Data. Start with the "low-hanging fruit". Whatever else, the raw data should be made available as soon as possible. Introduction This, 2009, is the year for putting government data online. So if you want to do this, what should you do? Using Linked Data as the interconnection bus Government data is put online typically for 3 reasons: Increasing citizen awareness of government functions to enable greater accountability; Contributing valuable information about the world; and Enabling the government, the country, and the world to function more efficiently.
Each of these purposes is best served by using Linked Data techniques. In general Linked Data is: That's enough about why it is useful. Open Data in the United Kingdom. There have been campaigns in the UK for its government to open up the large amounts of data it has for greater public usage without prohibitively large fees. Currently some UK public sector data are released under a Creative Commons compatible license. Overview[edit] Crown Copyright has been a long standing copyright protection applied to official works, and at times artistic works, produced under royal or official supervision. The Guardian newspaper's Technology section began a "Free Our Data" campaign, calling for data gathered by authorities at public expense to be made freely available for reuse by individuals.
In 2010 with the creation of the Open Government License and the Data.gov.uk site it appeared that the campaign had been mostly successful. On 12 January 2011 the Coalition Government revealed that it was planning to establish a Public Data Corporation (PDC). Open Government Licence[edit] Data holders[edit] Met Office[edit] Ordnance Survey[edit] Transport Direct[edit] History[edit] Open data strategy - Publications. We have changed our Open Data Strategy. It incorporates new cross-government measures from the Cabinet Office publication of the National Information Infrastructure and related Dataset Inventories. The Strategy builds on the commitments outlined in the department’s original strategy published in June 2012 and summarises our important activities and data releases planned over the next 2 years.
The strategy is split into the following important sections: We publish updates every 6 months on how we are meeting our commitments in the open data strategy. Our information strategy draws on a common set of information principles designed to help the public sector become increasingly aligned in using and managing information. Principle 6 supports greater openness of data and a commitment to transparency. Open Definition. Home | data.gov.uk.
