Shared BigData Gateway for Research Libraries accepting user stories
The Shared BigData Gateway for Research Libraries is a two-year IMLS-funded project to develop, seed, and maintain a cloud-based, extendable cyberinfrastructure for sharing large academic library data resources with a growing community of scholars. The gateway, known as the Collaborative Archive Data Research Environment (CADRE), will initially be seeded with a combination of open and licensed bibliometric datasets, including Microsoft Academic and Web of Science data. The project is seeking user stories from researchers and service providers ranging from specific interface design to general computational environment use cases. User stories can be submitted at their website.
