Abstract

Abstract The past decade has seen the rise of “data portals” as online devices for making data public. They have been accorded a prominent status in political speeches, policy documents, and official communications as sites of innovation, transparency, accountability, and participation. Drawing on research on data portals around the world, data portal software, and associated infrastructures, this paper explores three approaches for studying the social life of data portals as technopolitical devices: (a) interface analysis, (b) software analysis, and (c) metadata analysis. These three approaches contribute to the study of the social lives of data portals as dynamic, heterogeneous, and contested sites of public sector datafication. They are intended to contribute to critically assessing how participation around public sector datafication is invited and organized with portals, as well as to rethinking and recomposing them.
数据门户做什么?追踪用于公开数据的在线设备的政治
在过去的十年中,作为数据公开的在线设备,“数据门户”出现了。它们作为创新、透明、问责和参与的场所,在政治演讲、政策文件和官方交流中享有突出地位。通过对世界各地数据门户、数据门户软件和相关基础设施的研究,本文探索了三种方法来研究作为技术政治设备的数据门户的社会生活:(a)接口分析,(b)软件分析,(c)元数据分析。这三种方法有助于将数据门户的社会生活作为公共部门数据化的动态、异构和有争议的站点进行研究。它们旨在有助于批判性地评估如何通过门户邀请和组织公共部门数据化的参与,以及重新思考和重新组合它们。
