DIREITO RIO debates database management at international workshop

A large event to debate extremely large databases (Big Data). This was the goal of the Extremely Large Databases (XLDB) Workshop, held on June 3 and 4 at the National Observatory, in Rio de Janeiro. Due to the project ?Supremo em Números? (Supreme Federal Court in Numbers), the Rio de Janeiro Law School (FGV/DIREITO RIO) was one of the institutions invited to discuss the management and analysis of data sets in extreme scales, besides the facilitation of the development and growth of adequate technologies.The School was represented by the researcher of the project ?Supremo em Números?, Daniel Chada. He presented the history of the project, started in 2010, which assesses in a quantitative way the decision of the Supreme Federal Court. Daniel also highlighted the next steps of the project, the Supremo 2.0.?The goal is to create a platform for quantitative visualization of judicial data, something innovative, which will enable the visualization of the data from the Supreme Court cases in a faster and intuitive way, not requiring programming knowledge?, explained the researcher.The XLDB is composed by a multidisciplinary community that gathers since 2007 at the Stanford University, in California (US). Events like this one held in Rio de Janeiro are organized at different places in the world to include the global community in the debates about the challenges of managing large databases. The multidisciplinarity is due to the presence of professionals from Google, Yahoo, Fiocruz, National Meteorology Institute, the National Observatory, Petrobras, European Southern Observatory, Military Engineering Institute, among others.*In the picture, the event participants
