Seminar Objective
This seminar introduces computable data collections and shows how to work with
them in Mathematica. Examples are drawn from mathematics, physics,
chemistry, economics and finance, geopolitics, linguistics, and more.
Presenter
The seminar is presented by a senior member of the Wolfram Research
technical staff.
Topics
Introduction to Data Collections
Syntax and scope of the functions for working with the data
collections; brief discussion of the source and technology behind the collections
CountryData
Syntax and scope of worldwide country data; basic examples as well as examples
showing integration with dynamic interactivity tools; advanced
examples visualizing environmental data across the globe
CityData
Syntax and scope of city data; basic examples, including creation of
tables of city data; advanced examples using longitude/latitude
information to display interactive maps of cities for any country
AstronomicalData
Syntax and scope of astronomical data for various classes of deep-sky
objects; creation of graphical and tabular output
ChemicalData
Syntax and scope of chemical data collection; visualization,
properties, and searching using string patterns
ElementData
Syntax and scope of all element data; advanced examples using dynamic interfaces to systematically explore the data collection
IsotopeData
Syntax and scope of isotopes, including dozens of classes and
available properties; examples, including isotope charts of lifetimes and
decay networks
WordData
Working with word data, including parts of speech, converting from
language/spelling variants, using hyphenation rules, palindromes, and anagrams
FinancialData
Working with over 186,000 entities from all over the world;
visualizing time-series data, working with foreign exchanges, and integrating data with interactive interfaces; other examples from the mathematical sciences, including GraphData, KnotData, LatticeData, and
PolyhedronData
