Is there Paradata? A CRMdig-Supported Mapping of Provenance and Process Information in Archaeological Datasets

Thu, 08 Oct 2020 16:34:00 GMT

Today Olle spoke about paradata in archaeological data papers at the Computer Applications & Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) Nordic 2020 conference. With writing assitance from Lisa and Isto, the talk continued the exploration of how paradata is created and described as a part of archaeological data-management practices. In focus of was among other things how authors of data papers argue for the resuability of the datasets they've published, and how this can be thought about from the viewpoint of 'publication thresholds'. A publication threshold can be understood as the demarcation line that separates datasets that are considered to be publishable for the purposes pf resuse from those that are not, and which reusability arguments carry the most and the least weight in such assessments.

And every FAIR from FAIR sometimes declines? Tracking the rise of paradata to increase data sustainability

Thu, 10 Sep 2020 13:26:00 GMT

It is possible to argue that it is the 'R' in 'FAIR', standing for reusability, that makes the Findable, Accessible, and Interoperable worth the effort. Does it need to be, as Shakespeare writes, that every fair from fair sometime declines? What can be done to slower down the (perhaps inevitable) decline of data reusability? These multiplex questions were in focus of Olle's and Lisa's talk on the European Association of Archaeologists' (EAA) 2020 conference in late August. The premise of the talk was that the intellectual horizons of primary and secondary data usage can be to some extent merged if repository users are supplied with auxiliary paradata about the processes and tools involved in creating the data, and this premise was investigated on the basis of a pilot study of paradata in archaeological data papers. The EAA 2020 conference was most exciting and the data-papers pilot study proved promising—it will likely be further developed in future CAPTURE activities and publications.

Choreographies and paradata

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 06:43:00 GMT

Processes can be usefully understood by using many different concepts and metaphors. Isto participated in a session in mid-August held at the joint 4S/EASST Science and technology Studies conference with a focus on the notion of choreographies. The focal point of the talk was how information and data making procedures can be understood and explicated from the perspective of choreographies and what implications this has on their documentation.

New date for CAPTURE workshop Nov 24

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 21:30:00 GMT

The workshop planned for April 20 is rescheduled to Nov 24, 2020. CAPTURE invites researchers and practitioners interested in research data management and documentation to a full-day workshop in Uppsala to discuss paradata and provenance, documentation of research data and research data creation and use in archaeology and beyond.

The workshop approaches the paradox that we might know a lot about research data in different domains but not that much about how it came into being from different perspectives relating to multi-disciplinary research on research data and documentation. Documenting the origins and different processes related to working with and using research data, and collecting and preserving provenance metadata and paradata alongside with metadata has proven to be a difficult task.

More information will be available here closer to the date. Stay tuned.
