数据管理是使数据集适合使用和可归档的过程。它对数据密集型科学至关重要,因为它使复杂的数据管道成为可能,研究可再现,数据可重用。然而,数据管理的实际操作、技术和智力工作的复杂性经常被忽视或低估。模糊数据管理的工作不仅使数据管理人员的劳动和贡献不可见,而且还隐藏了管理人员的工作对数据后来的可用性、可靠性和可再现性的影响。为了更好地理解数据管理的工作和影响,我们在一个大型社会科学数据存储库——大学间政治和社会研究联盟(ICPSR)——对数据管理进行了仔细的检查。我们的问题是:ICPSR的策展工作包括什么?在不同的利益相关者和不同的背景下,哪些工作或多或少是可见的?在整个组织中,策展工作是如何协调的?我们从Jira门票的采访和策展记录中对数据策展进行了三角分析,以开发丰富而详细的策展工作记录。虽然我们确定了ICPSR策展人执行的许多策展行动,但我们也发现策展人依靠许多工艺实践来完成他们的工作。他们工作实践的现实违背了许多生命周期或工作流模型所暗示的死记硬背的事件顺序。此外,我们还表明,制定数据管理最佳实践和标准需要工艺实践。最终用户往往看不到数据管理的技巧,但ICPSR策展人及其主管却很清楚这一点。明确承认并支持数据策展人作为工匠,对于创建可持续和成功的策展基础设施非常重要。
Data curation is the process of making a dataset fit-for-use and archivable. It is critical to data-intensive science because it makes complex data pipelines possible, studies reproducible, and data reusable. Yet the complexities of the hands-on, technical, and intellectual work of data curation is frequently overlooked or downplayed. Obscuring the work of data curation not only renders the labor and contributions of data curators invisible but also hides the impact that curators' work has on the later usability, reliability, and reproducibility of data. To better understand the work and impact of data curation, we conducted a close examination of data curation at a large social science data repository, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). We asked: What does curatorial work entail at ICPSR, and what work is more or less visible to different stakeholders and in different contexts? And, how is that curatorial work coordinated across the organization? We triangulated accounts of data curation from interviews and records of curation in Jira tickets to develop a rich and detailed account of curatorial work. While we identified numerous curatorial actions performed by ICPSR curators, we also found that curators rely on a number of craft practices to perform their jobs. The reality of their work practices defies the rote sequence of events implied by many life cycle or workflow models. Further, we show that craft practices are needed to enact data curation best practices and standards. The craft that goes into data curation is often invisible to end users, but it is well recognized by ICPSR curators and their supervisors. Explicitly acknowledging and supporting data curators as craftspeople is important in creating sustainable and successful curatorial infrastructures.
