(18 Jul 2023) “Data scientists love good, structured data. Information people know where to get that data.”
That’s how an information professional at a large pharmaceutical company described what drives the collaboration between info pros and data scientists at his organization.

The scientists appreciate our focus on data quality and our ability to enhance the data with a specialized taxonomy.”
