Module contents

We live in a world in which the collection, transformation and exploitation of data is more central than ever. The field of  "Data Engineering" covers the crucial steps from acquisition of raw data to making the validated, cleaned data available for exploitation - such as interpretation, learning and visual rendering. The module "Data Engineering 1" discusses the basics of the field and the handling of unstructured data.

1. Introduction (3 weeks)
- What is Data Engineering?
- Data Engineering in the broader context of Data Science
- Data (Processing) Pipelines
- Different forms of data: Big Data, Small Data, Smart Data, ..

2. Working with data (4 weeks)
- Data formats and file formats (XML, JSON, CSV, ...)
- Navigating XML/JSON data (XPath, JSONPath)
- Tools
- Structured vs. unstructured data

3. Handling of different data types (7 weeks)
- different NoSQL solutions
- Information Retrieval (IR) basics
