05/11/2020 – Failed it to Nailed it! How to get data sharing right! – Data Standards and Guidelines

This event was the second of the `Failed it to Nailed it’ online data seminar series. The event was hosted online through a zoom conference. The event ran for approximately 3 hours in an afternoon session. There were 3 talks given on the topics of metadata, open data and linked data covered mainly from a domain agnostic point of view. These talks were followed by an interactive panel session with experts from each of these topics talking about their experiences with data standards and guidelines. Dr Samantha Kanza and Dr Nicola Knight produced a full report on this event summarising both the talks and the panel session which can be found here: https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/445483/. Below are the three videos of the talks with speaker biographies, followed by details of the Panel.

Panel Discussion

Following on from the talks a panel was convened, the panel members comprising of the 2 speakers that were present at the event and Dr Samantha Kanza stepping in for our third speaker due to time zone differences. The panel was chaired by Dr Nicola Knight. The questions asked to the panel members were a mixture of pre-prepared questions and questions asked by members of the audience.
