AUTHORS: Ryan Bemowski, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
ABSTRACT: Data pipelines can be extremely complex, but they don’t have to be. In this talk, Ryan Bemowski, a data scientist from Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, will review practical data pipeline implementations in use by the largest, state run citizen science trail camera network in the world, Snapshot Wisconsin. Taking a non-technical approach, Ryan will explain what a data pipeline is, give examples of data pipelines, and review the benefits and drawbacks to implementing various data processing techniques. He will focus on situations where centralized, modern data processing are not available or are not practical, with examples from Snapshot Wisconsin. These situations often arise during novel data collection or where there is lacking technological support for data of interest. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of data pipelines and confidence to improve current and future projects with practical data pipeline techniques.
