Theme: TEDxRheinMainSalon "Datanauts"

The name of the TEDxRheinMainSalon is "Datanauts - Decoding the world." We want to bring the bits into a bigger picture. Data as information, fragments of knowledge, traces of action and change and as vital part of our information entered society. We want to look at the global eco system embraced by “Open Data” as a synonym for the liberation of governmental, scientific or cultural data and “Data Science” as the discipline executed by a global community of scientists, coders, creatives, corporations.
