Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dryad really helped me to find the datasets I was looking for in some of my data science projects. In some areas, there was a need for more data, and data collection was either too costly or time-consuming. It was also important to know the data lineage which in this case the datasets easily can give us the source metadata.
