DOES DATA REMAIN « GEEK-SPECIFIC » ? (AND MEN-SPECIFIC) ?

WRANLING DATA IS STILL CHALLENGING

IT  Development  skills  for  data-­‐base  manipula?on  

Basic  familiarity  with  algorithms  

Graphic  design  skills  

Some  understanding  of  sta?s?cs  (the  rules  for  

large-­‐scale  data-­‐analysis)  

It requires

Awareness  of  existence  of  data  

Awareness  of  the  range  of  knew  knowledge  of  data  manipula?on  

Awareness  of  the  underlying  issues  

(poli?cal,  economic)  

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO THIS ?

To  become  geeks  ?    Adding  coding,  maths,  algorithms,  sta?s?cs  courses  in  

school  curricula  

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO THIS ?

To  facilitate  public  access  to  necessary  ressources  ?  Tools  and  human  ressources      

What forms of mediation/intermediation to educate and support the data manipulation efforts of the general public ?
