SCRAPYARD MINING. “This knowledge will initially correspond to the goals of the scientific task, but increasingly the internet repositories that are often constructed to store the data have become the focus of less directed scientific study, where “hidden” knowledge not originally anticipated by the goals of the scientific task may be found. However, this “scrapyard” approach is partly a result of overexperimentation where many unnecessary experiments were conducted along with the potentially informative ones.”
