Abstract:

This talk provides an overview of my work towards enabling Data DJs. That is enabling users to create, remix, record, and share their data analyses as easily as DJs make and share mixes. The talk touches on a variety of topics including linked data, scientific workflows, provenance, enterprise mashups and Facebook. It draws these topics into a unified research framework and discusses future research directions.
