Google announced dataset search for researchers. Nowadays, scholars and scientists from various fields are heavily dependent on the data stores that we find on the Internet, as are more and more journalists. But accessing the research data available on the web is a rather complex process. That is why Google has decided to launch a public data search engine aimed at researchers and journalists.
How does dataset search work?
According to Google, the purpose of this measure is to facilitate access to various datasets available on the Internet. Researchers and journalists have so far relied on platforms such as the World Bank, NASA or search engines such as Kaggle. Owing to the Google search engine, the work of these professionals will be much easier to access.
Google Dataset Search is very simple and intuitive. In Google’s words, this platform is responsible for extracting information from government databases, digital libraries, specialized websites, and other public sources. In addition, one of the advantages of developing Google is its compatibility with the most popular commands of the popular search engine.
Undoubtedly, this is an excellent source for all those professionals who rely on the use of this type of data in their daily lives. Dataset Search is currently in beta, although it is possible to use the platform without any problems.
