Frictionless Data Processing in the Wild Presentation at csv,conf,v4 (https://csvconf.com/) May 8th, 2019 10:30 AM PDT. Frictionless Data (FD) initiatives out of the Open Knowledge Foundation provide attractive informatics and processing capabilities. The BCO-DMO data repository used FD tools on real-world datasets, and we have some lessons learned to share. By building upon existing FD tools, we found ways to reduce the amount of time data managers spend generating metadata, and writing custom scripts. We are also developing ways for data managers with varying levels of scripting ability to make use of Frictionless Data tools.
