Aim
Theme: “Extracting Science from Big Data”.
The idea is to identify common challenges across the scientific disciplines in the handling, mining, and exploring of Big Data for scientific purposes. The workshop focusses on methodologies for turning raw Big Data into large sets of information and subsequently extracting scientific insights from that. In other words: From Big Data to Big Information to Big Science.
