Data sharing has become an increasingly important topic in the business world. Traditionally defined as a concept in the world of academic research, data sharing as a technology has become highly relevant for businesses of all sizes, whether they need to disseminate data across a large, global organization or need to augment internal data with broader market data to gain better insights. This interesting topic came to us from Nature in their article, “Many researchers say they’ll share data — but don’t.”
A recent study reports that most biomedical and health researchers who declare their willingness to share the data behind journal articles do not respond to access requests or hand over the data when asked.
Many organizations inhibit access to data, preserve data silos and discourage data sharing. This undermines the efforts to maximize business and social value from data and analytics.
Making data accessible is something we know a little about. Whatever you are searching for, it is important to have a comprehensive search feature and quality indexing against a standards-based taxonomy. Choose the right partner in technology, especially when your content is in their hands. Access Innovations is known as a leader in database production, standards development, and creating and applying taxonomies.
