The project investigates how aggregate data and new data-based processes are framed in the media. Using a broad sampling of materials, it reconstructs in comparative perspective the framing of big data. To this end, it connects three levels: First, frames in professional communicative forms are compared with those from participatory formats. Second, the relations of influence between the journalistic and user-generated frames are traced on a temporal scale. Third, the analysis of these processes considers three countries, that is, Germany, the U.S., and South Africa. With this, the project addresses three gaps in our understanding of cultural sensemaking in the context of extensive datafication. First, it maps the repertoire of frames of big data from journalistic media and mass-self communication. Second, it explores the dynamic unfolding of the discourse around big data across time. Third, it discusses the variance of perspectives on big data in cross-country comparison. To achieve the three research objectives, the project uses a multi-method design. The combination of data and methods allows for the comparative capture of media frames and the temporal relationship between journalistic and user-generated contributions. It includes the qualitative pre-analysis of socio-political topic aspects and presentation aspects. The sampling criteria for the press articles are based on this overview. Within the journalistic material, key events are inductively identified as those phases in which the volume of thematically relevant articles increases significantly. The key events thus identified then serve as criteria for sampling user-generated communication. This is followed by the manual content analysis of the verbally and visually manifested frames in the corpus of press articles and in the corpus of user-generated communications. In the next step, the discourse relationships between both corpora are explored over time. The similarities and differences in the interpretations of and the discourses around big data will be discussed across countries.

该项目研究如何在媒体中构建汇总数据和新的基于数据的流程。使用广泛的材料样本，它从比较的角度重建了大数据的框架。为此，它连接三个层次：第一，在专业的沟通形式的框架进行了比较，从参与式格式。其次，在时间尺度上追踪新闻框架和用户生成框架之间的影响关系。第三，对这些过程的分析考虑了三个国家，即德国、美国、和南非。有了这个，该项目解决了我们在广泛的知识背景下对文化意义建构的理解中的三个差距。首先，它映射了来自新闻媒体和大众自我传播的大数据框架的曲目。其次，它探讨了随着时间的推移，围绕大数据的话语的动态展开。第三，讨论了跨国比较中大数据视角的差异。为了实现这三个研究目标，本项目采用了多方法设计。数据和方法相结合，可以比较捕捉媒体帧和新闻和用户生成的贡献之间的时间关系。它包括社会政治主题方面和演示方面的定性预分析。报刊文章的抽样标准就是基于这一概述。在新闻材料中，关键事件被归纳为主题相关文章数量显著增加的那些阶段。由此确定的关键事件可作为对用户生成的通信进行抽样的标准。其次是对新闻文章语料库和用户生成的通信语料库中的口头和视觉表现框架进行手动内容分析。在下一步中，随着时间的推移，两个语料库之间的话语关系进行了探索。将讨论各国对大数据的解释和论述的异同。
