The Troll Under the Bridge: Data Management for HugeWeb Science Mediabases.
Ralf Klamma, Zinayida Petrushyna · 2008
Abstract: In the emerging discipline of web science there will be a growing need for managed data sets for research purposes. In the moment, data sets are mainly managed on file systems in arbitrary formats. This situation leads to a lot of media breaks and double work in the scientific workflows. We argue for the concept of a Web 2.0 Mediabases, a data set of managed Web 2.0 data from blogs, wikis, podcasts etc. In such a Mediabases we can apply web science methods and orchestrate complex experiments and simulations. 1
