Data Journeys
- What are our files/data about?
- Sabina Leonelli is a researcher who proposed the idea of looking through the journey that some data make through different people and applications.
- Some questions to make:
- How was this data collected, prepared and reported? What were the intentions, ideas, presuppositions?
- How is it cleaned, ordered, transformed, or reused?
- How is this data maintained, or, what are the infrastructures around it?
- How is it disseminated and made accessible?
- How is it visualized and analysed?
- Again, all of these steps presuppose values and views of a good life.
- What could we compromise if we enter in the middle of this process?
- Can we discern virtue or vice in these steps?
