the heterogeneity of our data is an asset

recollection floats on top

bigish ideas

› one big distributed collection

› open distributed infrastructure

› mindset: records -> data

Beyond thinking like cards

to thinking like data

interfaces are ways of seeing

seeing the big picture

helps find little fixes

the challenges

› we all have different kinds of metadata

› that data is in different kinds of systems

› much of that data is messy

› much of that data is not in the format we might wish it was

what recollection does

take this

or this

and make…

the workflow

› ingest data

› augment data

› design views

› publish and embed views

› share data and views

share data and views

share not only the end results, but also the raw data for other others to create their own views.

what’s next?

› full open source release: eminent

› public/private views and data: soon

› viewshare.org public launch: soon-ish

› big data sets: in a while

› viewshare.org as a portal: in the future

› remix across data sets: long view
