What Data Analytics Can Do for You

Abstract

In this presentation, we describe how the WKU Initiative for Applied Data Analytics (ADA) can play a key role in helping YOU as a business organization or an environmental research entity make sense of YOUR data and how to best utilize it. As an example, we will present our first grant proposal entitled “Designing and Implementing a Cloud-based Repository for the WKU Green River Preserve: Moving from Entrenched Data Structure to Semantic Web.” The ADA Initiative recently offered his research services in Data Mining and Predictive Analytics to WKU Green River Preserve (GRP). Dr. Albert Meier (Executive Director of the GRP) and Dr. Ouida Meier have decades of experience and honorable efforts to host numerous projects focused on the Preserve or included it as a study site in a larger project. Through a grant proposal, we are planning to work with Dr. Meier to capture, organize, store, and release various types of datasets that are being accumulated and that are growing at an accelerated rate at the Green River Preserve (GRP). In this presentation, we will describe what Data Analytics can do for GRP and/ or for YOU!
