Data Research
One of the grand challenges facing societies today, is how to keep siloed pools of knowledge accessible and live, in order to strategically analyze the interdependencies between the various impacts, so that we can craft the most impactful interventions to interdisciplinary challenges. Because navigating the nuance of data sets is challenging and keeping track of salient insights is sometimes elusive – particularly in large, distributed teams on complex problems – decision-makers, data scientists, research scientists on very large teams need a user-friendly environment. To meet this need, we are creating Socio-Ecological Visual Analytics (SEVA) as a virtual environment to support scientists and analysts to automatically upload their data and share their thoughts with a wide range of designated stakeholders. SEVA gives decision-makers an opportunity to discover critical insights accelerating data discovery towards decisions and maximize impact. We hope SEVA will facilitate big team science across multiple disciplines that have previously been siloed.
