Manipulating and processing masses of digital data is never a
purely technical activity. It requires an interpretative and
exploratory outlook - already well known in the social sciences and
the humanities - to convey intelligible results from data analysis
algorithms and create new knowledge. Big Data is based on an
inquiry of several years within Proxem, a software publisher
specializing in big data processing. The book examines how data
scientists explore, interpret and visualize our digital traces to
make sense of them, and to produce new knowledge. Grounded in
epistemology and science and technology studies, Big Data offers a
reflection on data in general, and on how they help us to better
understand reality and decide on our daily actions.
