Description

PDR-data visualization - PREP Research Associate

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.

Research Title:

Dynamic data visualization for tabular data

The work will entail:

The researcher is responsible in developing a tool to visualize tabular data for datasets published in the NIST public data repository (PDR). Researcher will explore frictionless data standard. Implement this standard for tabular data in PDR. Enhance current metadata standard (NERDm) to support the tabular data as needed. This can be applied to new datasets getting generated and published under specific Critical Emerging Technologies (CETs) program. This dynamic visualization of data will help researcher explore NIST data products in real time, which will enhance user experience of current PDR.
