Google will be launching a search engine exclusively for scientists and science enthusiasts on the line of its existing product ‘Google Scholar’, Hindustan Times has reported. The search engine aims to direct the users to data-sets that may be useful for conducting studies.
“To enable easy access to this data, we launched Dataset Search, so that scientists, data journalists, data geeks, or anyone else can find the data required for their work and their stories, or simply to satisfy their intellectual curiosity,” research scientist at Google AI, Natasha Noy, wrote in a blog post.
Google has requested websites to describe their data in a way that search engines can understand their nature. The blog-post written by the research scientist identified source, time of publication, the method of collection and terms of usage as parameters that can help ‘Dataset Search’ identify and compare different data-sets.
Currently, environment, social science, government and data of certain news organisations can be searched on Google’s new offering. The company said that more data-sets can be found on the application as more and more organisations adopt the guidelines of Google.
