06 Sep Wrangling Data from the Data Marketplace
Episode 115
One of data science’s dirty little secrets is the time spent data wrangling, that is accessing the data and then transforming it into a form compatible with your data tools and chosen analytical and learning models. Most agree this can take a full 75-80% of data science time. In this episode of the IoT Inc Business Show, I speak with Adam Mayer about data access and form when shopping at your local datamart.

When considering data marketplaces or data exchanges or what I call datamarts, how you get the data and the form it’s in can be as important as the data itself. Is it accessed through a feed, an API or by downloading a spreadsheet? Then, is the data packaged or raw, meaning is it normalized, standardized and with accompanying meta data? With so much time spent data wrangling the answers to these questions can significantly affect your data pipeline workflow.
