Research Without Borders Twitter Archive, #rwob, December 4, 2014

The dataset includes all tweets using the hashtag #rwob made between December 1 and December 8th, 2014. The hashtag was associated with the Research Without Borders event held at Columbia University on April 29, 2014. This panel discussion, explored “big open data” from three perspectives: the humanities, journalism, and the social web. Presentations covered how large amounts of data are managed, made sense of, and made accessible. The panelists also addressed the challenges of working with large open datasets, and how different academic disciplines use them. This collection of Twitter data was harvested using version 5.1 of Martin Hawksey's Twitter Archiving Google Spreadsheet (TAGS v5.1), which is available from his blog (http://mashe.hawksey.info/2013/02/twitter-archive-tagsv5/).
