Datability Platform Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A research division exploring platforms for collecting, analyzing, and sharing data, as well as research data management.

AboutAbout the lab
Building the infrastructure to collect data and put it to use
The Datability Platform Research Division studies platform technologies that use IoT and AI to collect, analyze, and share data from the real world.
Building mechanisms for research data management to advance open science is another pillar of its research.
Its predecessor was the Service Creation and Support Division of the Institute for Datability Science, and it was newly launched as a research division of the D3 Center in October 2024.
With an Associate Professor who joined from the Research and Development Office of the University Library, the division pursues research under its new structure from the perspective of data utilization.
