 C VIEW OF DATA SCIENCE \nTamer Özsu | Professor\, David R. Cheriton Sch
 ool of Computer\nScience \n\n​There is a data-driven revolution underwa
 y in science and society\,\ndisrupting every form of enterprise. We are co
 llecting and storing\ndata more rapidly than ever before. There is an incr
 easing recognition\nthat data science can assist in leveraging this data a
 nd the insights\nobtained from it into products\, systems\, and policies. 
 This has\nresulted in the formation within academia of data science resear
 ch\ncentres\, institutes and even academic units and the establishment of\
 nmajor initiatives within every major industrial organization. However\,\n
 our understanding of data science is vague and highly varied and\, in\nman
 y cases\, are squeezed to fit the available openings within an\ninstitutio
 n. There is a need to approach this field systematically to\ndefine its sc
 ope and its boundaries. The objective of this talk is to\nprovide such a c
 onsistent and systematic study of the scoping of data\nscience.   \n
