In scientific research, we can never underestimate the value of data. But have we underappreciated the missed opportunities and knowledge gaps that remain between unconnected data sets? With integrated data, researchers and librarians can capture unseen insights and initiate new, cross-disciplinary interactions. This webinar explores the growing world of data integration. With shared insights of experts from Elsevier and collaborating institutions, the webinar shows participants:

• How content within scientific articles and other texts can be enhanced with relevant and related data-set overlays
• How researchers can apply new apps to drill into the most relevant data sets for their own research
• How librarians can enrich current data resources with additional data sets
• How specific disciplines, such as life and earth sciences, are already applying data integration to accelerate new discoveries in less time
