The second Digging Into Data challenge saw a UNC professor among its 14 winning teams.

Richard Marciano, a professor in the School of Information and Library Science who also teaches in the Department of American Studies, competed on a team in the international competition promoting innovative humanities and social sciences research using large-scale analysis.

Marciano was the principal investigator for his team’s project, titled “Integrating Data Mining and Data Management Technologies for Scholarly Inquiry.”

The project will integrate large-scale collections, like JSTOR and books collections, to provide better access to scholars looking for research data.

The 14 winning teams received about $4.8 million from eight international research organizations. Members of the teams are academics and scientists from the U.S., Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
