Document Summary
Kitchin suggests capta (latin for capere to take) would be a better term. Data do not represent reality of the world but rather they are constructions about the world. Raw data is an oxymoron" data are always already cooked and never entirely raw ". From this perspective scientific knowledge is produced rather than discovered . Rhetorical: data that which exists prior to argument or interpretation that converts them to facts or interpretation that converts them to facts, evidence and information . Epistemic: collection of facts the basis for further reasoning or constitute empirical evidence . Informational: data = information that can be stored, processed and analyzed but do not necessarily constitute fact . Computational : data=collection of binary elements (bits) processing required to become fact. Diaphoretic: data= distinct and intelligible abstract elements that set things apart. For individual relate to knowledge and participation- provided , observed (extracted) byproduct (exhaust), inferred (perhaps not something would have willingly shared)
