Abstract
In the processing of research metadata there are typically many iterations
in order to quality check,
maintain and report data in a meaningful way. The transition from raw data to meaningful reportable
data is also usually via many routes and via many systems. Data manipulation in a downstream data store
is potentially dangerous
since the changes cannot easily be propagated back up. This issue becomes
exponentially more difficult to control the more the data transitions from one system to another. We
argue that is it more efficient to collect data and store it once. Data processing is replaced with functional
data transformation. The transformation can either be in-place or temporary. Data transformed is a
culmination of the functions applied to it. At any functional transformation an in-place update can be
made and the changes will automatically
propagate though the functional transformations to the output.
This poster highlights the benefit of functionally transforming data using an all-electronic HERDC for publications.
