Abstract
Cide.24 proposes to question, from an info-documentary perspective revealing both continuities and ruptures, the new epistemologies, practices and governances linked to data factories in different organizational contexts.
Announcement
Argument
As data production continues to surge (181 zettabytes predicted for 2025 according to the 2021 Statista study), public and private organizations are facing complex issues. Data, far from being simple materials primarily dedicated for commercial uses, are being perceived even more acutely today as “organizational potential” (Dalban-Pilon, 2022) invested with a “strong political stake” (Théviot, 2023) and are in this sense “currencies of power” (d’Ignazio, 2017).
Questions of technical, ethical, info-documentary, regulatory, environmental and logistical nature therefore arise in organizations to process these influxes of heterogeneous data in a digital context which contributes to an inflation of data and calls for new practices of collection, review and treatment by a set of actors often far removed from these considerations.
In this context, the role of “factories” (in the French version we use the word "fabrique" which comes from the Latin fabrica which designates the workshop, the forge but also the craft and the creation) has been highlighted for years in the literature. They are integrated into numerous professional contexts, like journalism (Burnier, 2023), where various production methods are used such as hackathons (Gruson-Daniel & de Quatrebarbes, 2017), data workshops, fablabs (Maynadier, 2023) or even data clinics. To that end, they include a whole set of data such as research data, raw data (Denis & Goëta, 2013), open data (Goëta, 2016), personal data (Girard-Chanudet, 2021) or even big data (Savy et al., 2020).
For this call for papers, we propose to question “data factories” in organizational contexts, by updating the issues, the actors, the permanences and upheavals of logistics and data and information linked professions. From an epistemological point of view, the "data factory" concept, although mentioned numerous times in the literature, does not have an established definition and needs here to be clarified and situated from an organizational point of view. The place of data and information, the links that unite and distinguish them, whether from a documentary point of view or more broadly in terms of governance, must also be questioned within these factories.
The data governance approach aims to organize data practices while integrating them into a strategic dynamic. However, French-speaking scientific literature, despite a desire for clarification (Akoka & Comyn-Wattiau, 2019), is still poorly developed. In the case of Information and Communication Sciences, if several authors have taken up the subject of Information governance (Le Corf, 2020; Maurel, Zwarich & Verlaet, 2022; Verlaet, 2023) and Data governance (Lehmans, 2018; Le Breton et al., 2022; Verdi, Pinède & Melançon, 2024), the current approaches remain few in number and often considered according to specific analytical prisms at the expense of other modalities (Kouakou, 2022; Melançon & Pinède, 2023). Regulatory developments in recent years, such as the Data Act, the Data Governance Act and the IA Act, also raise the question of the organizations sovereignty with regard to their data assets. Ultimately, the scopes, responsibilities and expertise of the actors in theses organizations are changing. As such, the role of information, document and records specialists in these new data and data processing contexts (Maurel et al., 2017) is once again questionned.
Cide.24 therefore proposes to question, from an info-documentary perspective revealing both continuities and ruptures, the new epistemologies, practices and governances linked to data factories in different organizational contexts.
The Cide.24 topics are :
1. Theoretical and epistemological approaches
• Data factory,
• Data, document, information,
• Document and data lifecycle,
• Data governance, information governance.
2. Production and organization
• New data, information and document typologies,
• New logistics (ex : governances, management, piloting process),
• New regulatory frameworks,
• New softwares, new architectures.
3. Openness and sharing
• Open logics (e.g : Open access, Open data, Open science, etc.),
• Intellectual property, data altruism,
• Sharing and valorization of documentary heritage (e.g : open records, data interoperability, data intelligibility, data management plan, etc.).
4. Evolving practices
• Data literacy, information literacy,
• Mediation challenges,
• Societal challenges (e.g : sobriety, ethics, responsability, sovereignty, ecological footprint, etc.).
5. New skills, new info-documentary positioning
• Emergence of new jobs,
• New qualification and skills needs (e.g : artificial intelligences),
• Opportunities and frictions between fields of expertise.
