• Abstract: This article describes the use of metadata and standards in the Social Impact Data Commons to expose official statisticians to an innovative project built on actionable and evaluable metadata, which produces a FAIR data system. We begin by introducing the concept of the Data Commons, focusing on its features, and presenting an overview of current implementations of the Data Commons. We then present the core metadata case study, demonstrating how smart metadata support the Data Commons. We also present evaluations of our core metadata, including its adherence to the FAIR guidelines. We conclude with a discussion on our future metadata and standards-related projects to support the Social Impact Data Commons.

  evaluating the value of a hypothetical target policy with only a logged dataset is important but challenging. We propose DataCOPE, a data-centric framework for evaluating a target policy given a dataset. Our empirical analysis of DataCOPE in the logged contextual bandit settings using healthcare datasets confirms its ability to evaluate both machine-learning and human expert policies.
