项目摘要

The Secret Life of a Weather Datum project aims to pilot a new approach for better understanding and communicating how socio-cultural values and practices are articulated in the transformation of weather data on its journey from production through to various contexts of 'big data' collation, distribution and re-use; and, how these socio-cultural values and practices themselves transform as they interact with the data at various moments over the course of its journey.Through focusing on the small in 'big' weather data by tracing the (metaphorical) journey of a single weather datum from its production and collation into a 'big' dataset, to its distribution and re-use in three different socio-cultural contexts - climate science, financial markets and citizen science projects - the project aims to develop an innovative conceptualisation of 'big data' production and use that encourages engagement with the complex socio-cultural processes shaping contemporary data-driven developments.The project asks the following questions: - What is the 'journey' that weather data produced by the UK's Met Office takes from its production through to its collation and re-use as 'big' weather data in different contexts? - What socio-cultural values and practices are articulated in the transformation of this data on its journey from production through to various contexts of collation, distribution and re-use, and how do these socio-cultural values and practices themselves transform as they interact with the data over the course of its journey? - What institutional policies and practices, and government policies and legislation, shape the distribution and licensing of weather data for re-use in different contexts? - How can the complexity of the socio-cultural dynamics shaping the production, collation, distribution and re-use of 'big' weather data be communicated to a wider audience?To answer these research questions, the project develops four distinct, but interconnected case studies, which enable exploration of socio-cultural values and practices shaping weather data production, collation, distribution and re-use across institutions of the state and market, and in the collective actions of citizen groups. The case studies focus on: the production of the weather datum by the UK's Met Office; the public and institutional policy context shaping its distribution; the re-use of the weather datum within key centres of UK Climate Science including the Met Office Hadley Centre, the weather risk and derivatives markets in the UK's financial sector, and citizen science projects including the Old Weather Project.The project will produce a working paper for each case study, and three academic journal articles. The tangible asset to come out of this project will be an interactive website with integrated research data archive aimed at public engagement with the topic of 'big' weather data production and re-use. This asset will be developed further in the future, and will be Creative Commons licensed to encourage re-use of the case materials by others. The project will host an online launch of this website, and an innovative end of project event aimed at dissemination and impact within and beyond academia.

“天气数据的秘密生活”项目旨在试行一种新的方法，以便更好地理解和交流在天气数据从生产到各种“大数据”整理、分发和再利用的转变过程中，社会文化价值观和做法是如何表达的;并且，在本发明中，这些社会-文化价值观和实践本身也会随着它们在数据传播过程中的不同时刻与数据的互动而发生变化。通过追踪天气来获取“大”天气数据一个单一的天气数据从它的生产和整理成一个“大”数据集，到它的分布和在三个不同的社会文化背景下重新使用的（隐喻）旅程-气候科学，金融市场和公民科学项目-该项目旨在开发“大数据”生产和使用的创新概念，鼓励参与复杂的社会该项目提出了以下问题：-英国气象局制作的天气数据从制作到整理和在不同背景下作为“大”天气数据重新使用的“旅程”是什么？ - 这些数据在从生产到整理、分发和再利用的过程中发生转变，体现了哪些社会文化价值观和做法，这些社会文化价值观和做法本身在与数据互动的过程中如何转变？- 哪些机构政策和做法以及政府政策和立法影响了天气数据在不同情况下再利用的分发和许可？- 如何将影响“大”天气数据的生产、整理、分发和再利用的社会文化动态的复杂性传达给更广泛的受众？为了回答这些研究问题，该项目开发了四个不同但相互关联的案例研究，从而能够探索社会文化价值观和实践，这些价值观和实践塑造了国家和市场机构以及公民团体集体行动中的天气数据生产，整理，分发和再利用。案例研究的重点是：由英国气象局制作天气数据;公众和机构政策环境塑造其分布;在英国气象局哈德利中心、英国金融部门的天气风险和衍生品市场以及包括旧天气项目在内的公民科学项目中，重新使用英国气候科学的主要中心的天气数据。该项目将为每个案例研究编写一份工作文件，三篇学术期刊文章。这个项目的有形资产将是一个互动网站，其中包含综合研究数据档案，旨在让公众参与“大”天气数据的制作和再利用。这一资产将在未来得到进一步开发，并将获得知识共享许可，以鼓励其他人重新使用案例材料。该项目将主持该网站的在线启动，以及旨在学术界内外传播和影响的创新性项目结束活动。
