This is a lovely paper on a number of different levels, not the least of which is the helpful poster-style image that accompanies the text (view first!). The paper proposes a topological overview of data practices in academia "that is interested in their liveness, that is, in how they emerge, develop and unfold" which "allows us to see data practices as complex assemblages that have no unifying essence, but that are instead continually being put together." This is the best bit of the discussion. The resulting IUDE model identifies four strands describing data practices: "Interface (on), User (with), Design (behind) and Ecology (beyond)."
