[DATA_SCIENCE] Interviews: The Medical and Environmental Data Mash-up Infrastructure (MEDMI)

This is a set of interview transcripts executed by Niccolò Tempini between March and October 2016, as part of the ERC project "The Epistemology of Data-Intensive Science", and in the context of a case study of MEDMI. Please read the "Notes on transcript editing" document for further information.

Three papers or chapters that specifically make use of these interviews have been published as of 2020:

The transcripts document MEDMI researchers' experience of infrastructure development and data curation and re-use practices. Researchers have consented to have these transcripts made available as Open Data. Other interviewees did not give consent, so those transcripts are held securely by the research team in Exeter.
You also find the information sheet provided to interviewees, which gives you the context for this project. Further information and related publications can be found at www.datastudies.eu.
