What about Open Research Data?
Canada is moving towards a policy of Open Data for research…
but are we ready for it?
Canada spends $2.8B on
research at universities,
colleges & hospitals
Much of that supports
creation, sharing &
analysis of digital data
But what happens to
all this data?

up 1.7% to the GDP by
2020…the equivalent to
the Agriculture sector

Editor's Notes

  • #3 CANARIE’s core purpose is to support the development and deployment of digital technologies – networking, computing and software Infrastructure and tools the enhance academic and private sector research and innovation advance the digital knowledge economy
  • #4 Canada’s economy and standard of living built on export of natural resources and agri business Early on 19th/20th centuries – fisheries, farming, forestry Shift in recent years to minerals and energy High growth of the services business (finance, health care) Seeing decline in traditional manufacturing Emergence of internet economy – now 3-4% of GDP
  • #5 Some jurisdictions are moving more quickly into Open Data – Alberta is one of them. In Manitoba, The city of Winnipeg has an open data portal....transit info was the first dataset available.  In Saskatchewan, the city of Saskatoon also has some open datasets, including transit routes, current ward boundaries, polling boundaries, etc.
  • #6 Images instead of text?
  • #7 Running out of descriptors! Digital transformation of research has resulted in the production and transfer of unprecedented levels of data. Just to give you an idea of the level of the intensity of the data volume, imagine this: Capturing the activity of one million brain neurons (that’s just out of the 85-100 BILLION that we have) would require about 3 PB of data in one year. That seems like a lot, until you realize that’s only about an eighth of the data the Large Hadron Collider produces (processor only selects 1% of events for analysis) Multiply that by 14,000 and that’s the amount of data that the SKA project will produce in a year. Presents unique challenges Amalgamation of science and information technology Cloud computing high speed optical networks, network connected sensors and instruments
  • #9 Tell a story about being in CERN – seeing the roots of the Internet, first server
  • #10 The opportunity to go down several hundred metres and see the Atlas particle detector experiment up close
  • #16 Researchers across the country accessing a much wider range of data sets – combining and analyzing disparate data sets to create new knowledge
  • #17 Private sector players using research data in innovative ways to create new products and services
  • #18 A wide range of educational institutions using open data sets to set young minds on fire and get youngsters interested in the field of data analytics and data science
