Facilitating API lookup for novices learning data wrangling using thumbnail graphics
2021
Foundations of Data Science
<p style='text-indent:20px;'>With the rising demand for data science skills, the ability to wrangle data programmatically becomes a crucial barrier. In this paper, we discuss the centrality of API (application programming interface) lookup to data wrangling, and how an ontology-structured command menu could facilitate it.
