How to Create, Find and Work with Open Data

There is a rising movement of openly published datasets that you public can access but should you? In this talk we explore where to find collections of open data, how to understand metadata and licensing, how to create your own datasets from publicly available sources and finally the steps to publish your work following best practices for others to use with a practical example of the data science made possible by openness.

Giving this talk is Jean-Gabriel Young, an Assistant Professor in Statistics at UVM, and Kendall Fortney, the Program Director for VERSO, the newly created UVM Open Source Program Office.
