Summary

What is Data Science?

Data Science is a discipline that combines data with programming languages, algorithms, statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, reporting, and data visualization, all to make sense out of data. Data Science is a very important part of Cognitive Computing that enables Artificial Intelligence. The data stored in such libraries are very diverse. The challenge for libraries is to digitize all their content (digital objects), and to classify, organize, link and publish all digital objects. Most content (digital objects) has been organized and classified manually. Manual processes are not sustainable, certainly not when you have to process millions of digital objects in a short period of time and with high accuracy. Is where Data Science comes to the rescue
