Big data elephant versus sense-making network?
The challenge is to foster the co-constituted socio-technical system on the right i.e. a computationally-enabled sense-making network of expertise, data, models, software, visualisations and narratives

I believe that the time is ripe for significantly better documentation of programs, and that we can best achieve this by considering programs to be works of literature…
Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.
Knuth, Donald E. (1984). "Literate Programming”. The Computer Journal (British Computer Society) 27 (2): 97–111.
… a computer language is not just a way of getting a computer to perform operations but rather that it is a novel formal medium for expressing ideas about methodology.
The Journal of Open Research Software (JORS) features peer reviewed Software Metapapers describing research software with high reuse potential.
We are working with a number of specialist and institutional repositories to ensure that the associated software is professionally archived, preserved, and is openly available.
Equally importantly, the software and the papers will be citable, and reuse will be tracked.

• Will digital libraries provide the infrastructure to execute documents, or will people deploy them on alternative infrastructures? What are the implications for discovery, curation, and its automation?
• Who gains credit and owns the intellectual property generated when a document runs automatically? Who is liable for damage that arises? What are the implications of unintended or accidental assembly of research methods and outcomes?
• What are the implications of research that occurs at very high speed, possibly speculatively, without human intervention? Where is the (critical, creative, subversive) human in the loop? Are we ‘burning’ research methods into an automated research platform?
• How do executable documents sit in the social websites of discovery, authoring, publishing and sharing; i.e. the ecosystem of scholarly social machines?
David De Roure
Scholarly practice is changing
profoundly as we embrace new
methods of digital research and
engage society.
Our centuries-old research
communication practices
that underpin scholarship
are to be celebrated — but are they still fit for
their purpose?
