Lorna Hughes

“cyberinfrastructure is more than a tangible network and means of storage in digitized form, and it is not only discipline-specific software applications and project-specific data collections. It is also the more intangible layer of expertise and the best practices, standards, tools, collections and collaborative environments that can be broadly shared across communities of inquiry.” Geoffrey Rockwell

Why do we forget about data?

Linked Data is not Quality Data

Narrative versus data

“There is this constant opposition between data and text. In order to process text we have to treat it as if it

were data, as if text were composed of nice measurable things like characters that can be constituted into other things like words, phrases and syntagmatic objects of

various kinds, and equally when we process data we try to pretend that we’re doing it in a way that’s not textual… that data is self-evidently not subject to interpretation…. and I am not convinced of that.”

(Bernard 2011)

The Revival of the Narrative “One clear conclusion is surely that, whenever possible, sampling by hand is preferable and quicker than, and just as reliable as, running the whole universe through a machine. We all know of projects in which a logical

flaw in the argument or a failure to use plain common sense has vitiated or cast in doubt many of the conclusions. We all know of other projects in which the failure to record one piece of information at the coding stage has led to the loss of an important result. We all know of others where the sources of information are themselves so unreliable that we can be

sure that little confidence can be placed in the conclusions based on their quantitative manipulation”
