Data Sharing's Coming-of-Age Moment
|
by Barbie E. Keiser
|
"Bridging Policy and Practice in Data Sharing" is the latest special report in the State of Open Data series assessing global attitudes toward open data. This quantitative analysis shifts the focus of a longitudinal study conducted for the past 9 years by Springer Nature, in partnership with Digital Science and figshare, from the thoughts and attitudes of researchers to what they are actually doing concerning open data.

This evocative historical novel tells the story of Giacinto, who emigrates from Italy in 1912 and becomes a carousel carver during the golden age of the craft in America, and Rosa, the eight-year-old orphan girl thrust into his care.
In 1939, with war looming and few new carousels being built, Giacinto leaves Philadelphia for the New Jersey shore, where his wildly popular creations require skilled attention after every summer season. The arrival of Rosa from Italy turns a solitary and predictable middle-aged existence on its head.
