As the availability of data is increasing everyday, the need to reflect on how to make these data meaningful and impactful becomes vital. Current data paradigms have provided data life cycles that often focus on data acumen and data stewardship approaches. In an effort to examine the convergence, tensions, and harmonies of these two approaches, a g...
Article
The current data paradigm is seeking a more integrated and comprehensive framework to make sense of data and its derived issues. From the perspective of the data life cycle, we argue that computational and social approaches complement each other to confront data challenges. Computational approaches consist of ETL (extract, transform, and load), mod...
