Abstract

The concept of paradata has received increasing attention in recent information scholarship. The literature however shows considerable disagreement about what paradata is and how it can be purposive. The aim of this paper is to facilitate the use of the resources and analytical impetuses offered by the concept of paradata by providing an explanation to what paradata is in operational terms.The examination of paradata is based on a scoping review of 53 scholarly texts that varyingly engage with the concept.The reviewed texts were analysed using a concept-analysis framework focusing principally on discerning the main descriptive features of paradata and prevalent instances of use and usefulness.The paper shows what the key elements, relationships, use-cases and uncertainties of paradata are.The paper offers a paradata proto-definition: paradata is information about processes that operate a network of means, mental and physical actions and intellectual regimen in the creation or shaping of a(n information) product. The paper also outlines interconnections between paradata, metadata and provenance data, and suggests why it might make analytical sense to continue exploring the concept of paradata in information research and what the objectives of such explorations might be.

询问paradata

paradata的概念在最近的信息学术中受到越来越多的关注。然而，文献显示了相当大的分歧关于什么是paradata以及它如何可以是有目的的。本文的目的是通过解释在操作术语中什么是似是而非的概念，促进对似是而非概念所提供的资源和分析动力的使用。对para - ata的考察是基于对53个学术文本的范围审查，这些文本以不同的方式参与了这个概念。使用概念分析框架对审查过的文本进行了分析，主要侧重于识别para - ata的主要描述性特征以及使用和有用性的普遍实例。本文阐述了para - ata的关键要素、关系、用例和不确定性。本文提供了一个para - ata的原型定义:para - ata是关于在创造或塑造(n信息)产品的过程中操作手段网络、心理和物理行为以及智力方案的信息。本文还概述了para ata、元数据和来源数据之间的相互联系，并提出了为什么在信息研究中继续探索para ata的概念可能具有分析意义，以及这种探索的目标可能是什么。
