Follow the Data, Find the Story: Discovery of Multidirectional Stories in the Digital Archive

Abstract

What is data? How can it tell a story? Data can be represented through numbers, text, and images, and perhaps offer enough detail on its own to derive a singular story of that data. But when that data is collectively managed and preserved by a library’s publishing program, multiple collections of data sets become searchable in the digital library and on the web. This enables a way to unfold stories that may not have been explored without the interconnections among the library’s digital collections or community archives.
