#SpotOn17 - Richer, more connected data.

With the growth in pre-print servers, dataset publishing and the sharing of supporting information, more research outputs being released than ever before and with them, new research opportunities abound but with this boom in resources comes a growing risk of information overload and an expanding pile of administration. How do we harness the potential of all of these outputs to maximise the opportunities and minimise the effort?
By creating richer, connected, and reusable, open metadata for all research outputs we can enhance discovery and create opportunities for innovation and by bringing the research community together to establish a systematic way to create, manage and share this richer data, we can eliminate duplication of effort and make research outputs more accessible.

The panellists will explore the benefits of creating rich, more connected data, share stories of some of the challenges they have encountered and put forward ideas for how we can make this vision a reality.
