The "social" side of digital science
This document discusses the social aspects of digital science. It notes that communication and collaboration are integral parts of the research workflow, from developing ideas to publishing results. However, there are still barriers around sharing information socially. Metrics also still focus heavily on traditional outputs like papers rather than the wider scientific contribution. Digital tools and changing incentives could help address these issues by encouraging knowledge exchange and new forms of content while also overcoming social and cultural roadblocks.

This document summarizes an inspection report of the Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP). It finds that IIP leadership has failed to effectively communicate the bureau's strategic vision and has created an atmosphere of low morale. A 2011 reorganization addressed some structural issues but caused new problems and did not improve morale. However, IIP has effectively used technology to expand the reach of its publications and increase its social media presence. Regular support for American Spaces overseas has also strengthened public diplomacy engagement. The report provides numerous recommendations to improve IIP leadership, strategic planning, and management controls.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
