data_analysis idea for video

Note: This has been used, the video is produced. Data analysis We will use Buster Keaton public domain videos (one week, …) Flow Data analysis and results are a thrill when collecting data, different formats are often possible data format modification is costly, the later it comes the more costly making sure the data collected will be 1 stored, 2 analysed in its format is a time saver. In doubt, make the data computer readable does reduce that cost ideas Before the data collection starts, it is useful to know what format it will have.

Video pre-release

While previous video were online for some time, I have worked the concept a bit and end up with 4 videos so far. The first one is about open data and features superman. The second one is about using RDM to be sure to be able to retrieve one’s data and work more efficiently. It features Popeye. The third one is a general introduction about the main pitfalls RDM aims at avoiding, ending with a positive thinking: “we want better research in less time, while producing open FAIR data”.

How the Institutional Data Repository helped me promote my data

Background I have recently completed a project that involved curating, researching and staging three performances of live electronic music compositions by the English composer Hugh Davies (1943-2005).

In addition, these are experimental pieces, with scores that comprise text-based instructions and descriptions rather than standard notation, as well as other inherently unpredictable elements that mean that the pieces turn out differently every time they are performed.
