Seminar: “The Concept of Scientific Data: Multidisciplinary Perspectives”

Thursday, October 26, 2017, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Maison des Sciences de l’Homme – Saint-Charles 2 Campus, “Kouros” Room
Free admission with registration

Today, there are numerous issues surrounding the generation of big data (big data). Scientific research is obviously not immune to this phenomenon stemming from the digital revolution, the effects of which are evident from the very moment data is collected. Formulating scientific hypotheses based on data analysis is becoming standard practice in the production of scientific knowledge, thereby opening up new avenues for reflection on data acquisition, preservation, and archiving practices in order to make data “FAIR” (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable). These upheavals also affect the practices surrounding the dissemination and utilization of data in the collaborative yet competitive context of scientific research. Based on these considerations and the many questions they raise (access, dissemination, sharing, scientific integrity, traceability, commercialization), the interdisciplinary project CommonData Aims to begin, through this first seminar, with an examination of the concept of scientific data in a multidisciplinary context. The seminar will thus address, in turn, the issue of the life cycle of scientific data and the issue of the scientific nature of data.
This event is organized by Agnès ROBIN (Assistant Professor – UMR 5815 Dynamics of Law) at MSH-Sud as part of the CommonData project.
