## [Big Data Curation, Distinguished Lecture](https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/events/big-data-curation-distinguished-lecture)

Our next distinguished lecture series presenter, Professor Renée J. Miller of the University of Toronto, will describe research focussed on

curating several open data sets. "I overview how we have adapted some

of the traditional solutions for aligning data and creating semantics to

account for the three V's of big data -- volume, velocity and variety."
