Data everywhere, but are they fit for purpose?

Governments and organizations face the challenge of developing infrastructure to determine which of the 2 million new datasets discovered monthly are "fit for purpose" for diverse uses.

• Why it matters: Despite the explosive growth of data, there is a critical need for systems that ensure data are suitable for specific applications, supporting informed and appropriate use for the public good.
• What they did: The abstract discusses the importance of creating infrastructure capable of signaling dataset suitability amid the vast volume of new data generated monthly by sources like Google Dataset Search.
• The result: Developing such infrastructure is essential for enabling effective, responsible use of data, ultimately ensuring that data serve their intended purposes for society.
