Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are leading an effort to create a one-stop shop for data sets that would otherwise be lost to the public after the papers they were produced for are published.
The goal of the project, called DataBridge,
is to expand the life cycle of so-called dark data, said Arcot
Rajasekar, the lead principal investigator on the project and a
professor in the School of Information and Library Science at Chapel
Hill. It will serve as an archive for data sets and metadata, and will
group them into clusters of information to make relevant data easier to
find.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
