Description
In social sciences and many other domains, news media and social media big data are increasingly used to monitor, analyse and research cultural trends and societal changes in longitudinal studies. For many researchers, access to these type of resources remains a challenge due to technical and legal barriers. This presentation focusses on the challenges researchers face in collecting big (social) media data and presents the iCANDID infrastructure which offers researchers with different (technical) backgrounds integrated access to this type of data in a FAIR way, taking into consideration the provider’s terms of service in combination with the users’ needs.
