“Most of the literature views "digital data" or "big data" solely as a foundation for artificial intelligence and natural language processing, a predicate rather than a subject, a supporting actor rather than a central player in the evolutionary processes driving progress in social and cognitive science. In Data Rules, the authors explore a new analytical framework, combining insights from information science and studies of organizational structures and processes, placing data at the center of their narrative.”
