Talk on "Introduction to Ashoka's Datalake Infrastructure" by Prof. Maya Ramanath

Date & Time: Wednesday, 6th November at 1:30pm IST

About the Talk:

CDSA has implemented a comprehensive datalake designed to streamline data management across multiple disciplines. This platform serves as a one-stop shop for all data needs, facilitating dataset uploads and efficient data handling. With robust features including advanced visualizations (with 2D, 3D, and maps), intuitive search functionalities, and versioning and provenance tracking, the datalake ensures that data is not only accessible but also meaningful.

This session will provide an in-depth overview of the capabilities of the datalake and include a live demonstration. Attendees will learn about the functionality in supporting data management processes such as uploads, visualizations, and versioning, and explore upcoming features like API integration and enhanced data merging capabilities.

This session is intended to equip researchers with tools that will facilitate their data handling and research activities.
