From: OII Events [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 10 January 2006 12:01 To: OII-contacts Subject: OII News [2006.01.10]: Entangled Data: A comparison of science practices and the implications for e-(social)science Dear All Please may we bring to your attention the following forthcoming event: 'Entangled Data: A comparison of science practices and the implications for e-(social)science' Speakers: Ben Anderson, Chimera, University of Essex Date: 18 Jan 2006, 11.45 - 13:15 Location: Oxford Internet Institute, 1 St Giles, Oxford, OX1 3JS Attendance: This event is open to the public, if you would like to attend please email your name and affiliation to [log in to unmask] Abstract: This talk presents preliminary results from an ESRC e-Social Science Programme funded study that is using ethnographic methods to study 3 contrasting scientific endeavors: a distributed group of physical scientists and their team of software developers funded under the UK e-Science programme; producers and users of a complex socio-economic survey dataset and finally a series of ethnographic archiving projects within the same UK social science department. Our studies provide insights into concrete examples of (e-)science practice on which current and future designers of e-Science applications can build. Secondly, they contribute to developments in the anthropology of science that ask about the relationship between ownership, community and disciplinarity. Finally they inform the ongoing discussion of the potential benefits and drawbacks of embedding e-(social) science in everyday practice and the incentive structures required to do so.
