Data Quality: Letting Data Speak for Itself Within the Enterprise Data Strategy
Data Quality: Letting Data Speak for Itself within the Enterprise Data Strategy Collaboration & Transformation (C&T) Shared Interest Group (SIG) Financial Management Committee DATA Act – Transparency in Federal Financials Project Date Released: September 2015 SYNOPSIS Data quality and information management across the enterprise is challenging. Today’s information systems consist of multiple, interdependent platforms that are interfaced across the enterprise. Each of these systems and the business processes they support often use and define the same piece of data differently. How the information is used across the enterprise becomes a critical part of the equation when managing data quality. Letting the data speak for itself is the process of analyzing how the data and information is used across the enterprise, providing details on how the data is defined, what systems and processes are responsible for authoring and maintaining the data, and how the information is used to support the agency, and what needs to be done to support data quality and governance. This information also plays a critical role in the agency’s capacity to meet the requirements of the DATA Act.

Evolution of the Infographic
EVOLUTION OF THE INFOGRAPHIC: Then, now, and future-now. EVOLUTION People have been using images and data to tell stories for ages—long before the days of the Internet, smartphones, and Excel. In fact, the history of infographics pre-dates the web by more than 30,000 years with the earliest forms of these visuals being cave paintings that helped early humans find food, resources, and shelter. But as technology has advanced, so has our ability to tell meaningful stories. Here’s a look into the evolution of modern infographics—where they’ve been, how they’ve evolved, and where they’re headed. Then: Printed, static infographics The 20th Century introduced the infographic—a staple for how we communicate, visualize, and share information today. Early on, these print graphics married illustration and data to communicate information in a revolutionary way. ADVANTAGE Design elements enable people to quickly absorb information previously confined to long paragraphs of text. LIMITATION Static infographics didn’t allow for deeper dives into the data to explore granularities. Hoping to drill down for more detail or context? Tough luck—what you see is what you get. Source: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-01/16/painting- by-numbers-at-london-transport-museum INFOGRAPHICS THROUGH THE AGES DOMO 03 Now: Web-based, interactive infographics While the first wave of modern infographics made complex data more consumable, web-based, interactive infographics made data more explorable. These are everywhere today. ADVANTAGE Everyone looking to make data an asset, from executives to graphic designers, are now building interactive data stories that deliver additional context and value. -
Detection Method of Data Integrity in Network Storage Based on Symmetrical Difference
S S symmetry Article Detection Method of Data Integrity in Network Storage Based on Symmetrical Difference Xiaona Ding School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Sias University of Zhengzhou, Xinzheng 451150, China; [email protected] Received: 15 November 2019; Accepted: 26 December 2019; Published: 3 February 2020 Abstract: In order to enhance the recall and the precision performance of data integrity detection, a method to detect the network storage data integrity based on symmetric difference was proposed. Through the complete automatic image annotation system, the crawler technology was used to capture the image and related text information. According to the automatic word segmentation, pos tagging and Chinese word segmentation, the feature analysis of text data was achieved. Based on the symmetrical difference algorithm and the background subtraction, the feature extraction of image data was realized. On the basis of data collection and feature extraction, the sentry data segment was introduced, and then the sentry data segment was randomly selected to detect the data integrity. Combined with the accountability scheme of data security of the trusted third party, the trusted third party was taken as the core. The online state judgment was made for each user operation. Meanwhile, credentials that cannot be denied by both parties were generated, and thus to prevent the verifier from providing false validation results. Experimental results prove that the proposed method has high precision rate, high recall rate, and strong reliability. Keywords: symmetric difference; network; data integrity; detection 1. Introduction In recent years, the cloud computing becomes a new shared infrastructure based on the network. Based on Internet, virtualization, and other technologies, a large number of system pools and other resources are combined to provide users with a series of convenient services [1]. -

Scientific Data Mining in Astronomy
SCIENTIFIC DATA MINING IN ASTRONOMY Kirk D. Borne Department of Computational and Data Sciences, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA [email protected] Abstract We describe the application of data mining algorithms to research prob- lems in astronomy. We posit that data mining has always been fundamen- tal to astronomical research, since data mining is the basis of evidence- based discovery, including classification, clustering, and novelty discov- ery. These algorithms represent a major set of computational tools for discovery in large databases, which will be increasingly essential in the era of data-intensive astronomy. Historical examples of data mining in astronomy are reviewed, followed by a discussion of one of the largest data-producing projects anticipated for the coming decade: the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). To facilitate data-driven discoveries in astronomy, we envision a new data-oriented research paradigm for astron- omy and astrophysics – astroinformatics. Astroinformatics is described as both a research approach and an educational imperative for modern data-intensive astronomy. An important application area for large time- domain sky surveys (such as LSST) is the rapid identification, charac- terization, and classification of real-time sky events (including moving objects, photometrically variable objects, and the appearance of tran- sients). We describe one possible implementation of a classification broker for such events, which incorporates several astroinformatics techniques: user annotation, semantic tagging, metadata markup, heterogeneous data integration, and distributed data mining. Examples of these types of collaborative classification and discovery approaches within other science disciplines are presented. arXiv:0911.0505v1 [astro-ph.IM] 3 Nov 2009 1 Introduction It has been said that astronomers have been doing data mining for centuries: “the data are mine, and you cannot have them!”. -

Data Quality Through Data Integration: How Integrating Your IDEA Data Will Help Improve Data Quality
center for the integration of IDEA Data Data Quality Through Data Integration: How Integrating Your IDEA Data Will Help Improve Data Quality July 2018 Authors: Sara Sinani & Fred Edora High-quality data is essential when looking at student-level data, including data specifically focused on students with disabilities. For state education agencies (SEAs), it is critical to have a solid foundation for how data is collected and stored to achieve high-quality data. The process of integrating the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) data into a statewide longitudinal data system (SLDS) or other general education data system not only provides SEAs with more complete data, but also helps SEAs improve accuracy of federal reporting, increase the quality of and access to data within and across data systems, and make better informed policy decisions related to students with disabilities. Through the data integration process, including mapping data elements, reviewing data governance processes, and documenting business rules, SEAs will have developed documented processes and policies that result in more integral data that can be used with more confidence. In this brief, the Center for the Integration of IDEA Data (CIID) provides scenarios based on the continuum of data integration by focusing on three specific scenarios along the integration continuum to illustrate how a robust integrated data system improves the quality of data. Scenario A: Siloed Data Systems Data systems where the data is housed in separate systems and State Education Agency databases are often referred to as “data silos.”1 These data silos are isolated from other data systems and databases.
