WHAT IS DATA? (And why you should care)

What is ‘data’? How do you define ‘data’? Does it matter how ‘data’ is defined? What is your data? From ‘C3PO vs. Data’ by JD Hancock on flickr:

What is ‘data’? “A reinterpretable representation of information in a formalized manner suitable for communication, interpretation, or processing.” Digital Curation Centre

What is ‘data’? Any information you use in your research

Why you should care Reason 1: Data are fragile and easy to lose

“Fire” by andrewmalone via flickr.: What would happen to your data if there was a fire in your office, department or home?

‘books in a stack (a stack of books)’ by austinevan on flickr: Can you find things you know you have when you need them?

Why you should care Reason 2: Data are part of your (research) legacy

Love your data!
