Dear All,

I have realized that the figure of the Data Cycle Model was “reshuffled” in my message. So I resend it now as an attachment to this mail.

Sorry for that.

Importance: High

Hi Niv,

Thank you for your kind collaboration and important observations about the data cycle.  My response is in relation to your observation that “data generate decisions.”

A unifying feature of the natural sciences and social sciences as well as Indigenous knowledge is the ‘study of change’ – revealing trends, patterns and processes (albeit with different methodologies) that become the bases for decisions.   The trends, patterns and processes are underlain by data that were collected to answer questions.

However, data to answer questions (levels of research) are different than evidence for decisions, which involve institutions for both governance mechanisms and built infrastructure as well as their coupling for sustainability.

Evidence, however, only compels the decisionmakers to act.

Options (without advocacy), which can be used or ignored explicitly (in the style of science diplomacy),  are necessary to produce informed decisions, which operate across a ‘continuum of urgencies’ – which is what we are experiencing as a globally-interconnected civilization with the COVID-19 pandemic over months-years, short-term to long-term before and after the inflection point that will happen.

Informed decisions are the apex goals – not good decisions or bad decisions, right decisions or wrong decisions – but decisions that optimize the available information and perspectives in an international, interdisciplinary and inclusive (holistic) manner.  Evidence-based decisions and data-driven decisions are parts of the process, but they are insufficient without being inclusive about what evidence and which data, which requires common interests.

How do we build common interests among allies and adversaries alike?  Circling back to the base of the pyramid…

The lowest hanging fruit to build common interest is to start with questions, which emerged with other lessons from co-directing the first formal dialogue between NATO and Russia regarding security in the Arctic<https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030256739> as well as co-convening the first<https://sites.tufts.edu/sciencediplomacy/files/2019/02/Synthesis_1.pdf> and second<https://sites.tufts.edu/sciencediplomacy/files/2019/02/Synthesis_2.pdf> international dialogues with the Foreign Ministry Science and Technology Advice Network.   Together, these dialogues revealed the theory, methods and skills with informed decisionmaking to apply, train and refine at local-global scales, triangulating education, research and leadership (perhaps even framing the pyramid) with lifelong learning.

I appreciate your observation and look forward to continued dialogue.  Stay healthy!!!

With best regards,

Paul

Dear All,

I would like to add a small contribution to the discussion about the Data Science (DS) Models.

The Israeli Academy of Sciences and Humanities has formed a committee aimed to facilitate the introduction of DS studies into Israeli universities as an academic discipline leading towards an academic degree, and as a mandatory introductory course which will be offered cross-campus. A major question was how to define DS and what do they cover and contain. Rather than using a pyramid model, we selected a cyclic model, since we believe that data generate decisions that are then used as a feedback to the next cycle of decision making. Consequently, when you ask yourself what are DS, the answer is: it is a collection of topics that cover the entire Data Cycle. Here is the model with some explanation:

The Data Cycle
Every decision-making process is based on a data cycle culminating in a decision being made. The cycle can be very short and based on a few data items, such as when we decide whether it is safe to cross the street. In such a simple case we first identify the problem (or the mission), collect visual data on cars passing by, estimate the width of the street and our walking speed, integrate this data, operate an algorithm based on our past experience (i.e., machine learning), analyze the results, make a decision, store feedback for future similar activities.
Obviously, most of the decisions taken by organizational bodies and by teams are much more complicated. However, the stages of the Data Cycle (DC) are nearly the same for each degree of complexity, in each sector, and for each discipline. Figure 1 portrays the Data Cycle.


The Data Cycle

[cid:image001.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][cid:image002.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][Feedback][cid:image004.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][cid:image005.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][Visualization][cid:image007.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][Processing and analysis][cid:image009.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][Data mining][cid:image011.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][Data integration][cid:image013.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][Data collection and storing][cid:image015.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][Identifying pertinent data sources][cid:image018.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470][Learning and decision-making][Problem definition]
















We will briefly describe each stage of the DC and list out potential tools that can support each stage:

1.       Problem definition: An initial definition of the problem, or the mission, or the purpose, for which data is required. Potential tools: formulation methods, quantitative models, qualitative approaches, mathematical tools, and the like.

2.       Identifying pertinent data sources: Understanding what data are pertinent, and where they can be located. Potential tools: browsers, indices, search engines, international organizations, statistics bureaus, and the like.

3.       Data collection and storing: retrieval of data from various sources and store them in an accessible location. Potential tools: data transfer technology – communications, clouds, database management software, and the like.

4.       Data integration: This (very important) stage should allow the user to incorporate data from varied sources whose data definition and format were not initially compatible, nor are they synchronized. Potential tools: conversion programs, indices, metadata tools, and the like.

5.       Data mining: Selection of relevant data out of the Big Data. Potential tools: filters, data retrieval techniques, identification tools, AI tools, heuristics, and the like.

6.       Processing and analysis: The data that were selected earlier are now screened, processed, and analysed. Potential tools: algorithms, AI tools, machine learning, data processing programs, heuristics, and the like.

7.       Visualization: Presentation of the results to the decision maker(s). Potential tools: dashboard software, graphical tools, reporting systems, interactive systems, voice, and the like.

8.       Learning and decision-making: The final stage that is the purpose of the data cycle. The results are displayed to the decision makers and decisions are taken. Potential tools: decision support tools, what-if software, visualization tools.

9.       Feedback for further cycles: This stage is not always necessary. However, very often, the need to make a certain decision is repetitive, so the customer (the decision maker) can affect the usefulness and the effectiveness of the cycle by forwarding comments and changes. Potential tools: reporting systems, interactive reactions, fine tuning tools, DEVOPS tools, agile design tools, and the like.
Data Sciences is the academic discipline that covers the theories, paradigms and tools the serve all the components of the Data Cycle.

Niv

Dear All,

Thanks for all the contributions and reactions to my earlier version of Paul Berkman’s diagram. To continue the interesting and inspiring discussion, I’ve put all comments below so that those who have not yet read the individual contributions can only read this one.

I took the liberty to adapt again the diagram based on the various contributions. I kept the word observations as it is our unique capacity as human being to observe and subsequently questions, hypotheses etc emerge. I liked also the idea of a continuum of observers to co-creators. I reinforced the feedback loop by adding interaction, as this is crucial. Also innovations is included, as it can be complementary to or different from options. Finally, Capacity building has been replaced by active learning.

Dear Colleagues, Hans,

thanks for the information.

If I may show you a global view from a practitioner:

Let's agree that democracy, and the idea of a representative government, by now, is widely an illusion and does not work (well at all). It certainly does not work in the EU (with Germany in the lead) and in the U.N. and its bodies,  and when we run royal governments (UK, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Sweden etc etc). You easily see that in the writings by Jean Ziegler and others for decades with facts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Ziegler

Let's also agree that the western style of democracy, is heavily bought out and dysfunct, it's very far away from, and not comparable to, the ancient greece one (which is  a biased and romanticized view of governance in the first place 2000 years ago). Other forms of governance exist, and are practised (quite successfully) but are marginalized all the time and not in the driver seat.

Now, when it comes to disease and virus, I would say most nations do NOT have a good role model to show for Public Health (certainly not the U.S.), nor good and relevant scientists on such issues. Whatever those institutions and experts claim and how much money they spend; recent history on pandemics shows us no other. 'Science' also means to have good policies; I lack seeing those (disagreement between Trump and Fauci shows not other)

Also, it's clear that a few science people must not be in charge of all the decision-making; see climate change or biodiversity loss, or economics for that matter. Wide failures on global proportions already. What's their track record, (Royal) Academies of Science ? Just makes rich people richer; all data show us no other.

To bring it home from the above, my point here is: where are the disease data, who looks at them, how funded, and how applied ?
If you just look at those four simple questions and their answers, you will see virtually no global progress; whatever is claimed and stated, in the 'modernity' and in the 'new' global society and with UN and UNESCO etc. It's still all locked up in capitalism and its power structure, and the UNESCO is fully embedded there (to put it kindly) for 100% no change, guaranteed.

The feedback loop that was discussed in this initial email threat and demanded here is well known, and called Adaptive Management (from Walters 1986).

There is a lot of history on that, and it can be seen as a failed model and concept. "Adaptive Management' sounds great, but has not really been implemented anywhere, nor with any sustainable success. So much on the citizen input and UN and UNESCO.
With that. we are back in a deep hole, and my feeling is, with our lead we will stay there for a long long time.

That's where I would start this discussion; arguably, the lack of such an accepted and agreed baseline is mind boggling.
I hope this can be made better; happy to learn.

Very best and wish us luck

Dear Dora,

I agree with you that a pyramid is a very idealized depiction even of an evidence based decision making process.
But so is a circle! What it does allude to, however, is a learning process.
The real world does look different - let me share some impression from Germany, where some of the decision making seems to be happening quite publicly, with at least one of the 16 state prime ministers appearing in a talk show, each day, alongside one of circa five epidemiologists, and of course one or more "contrarian thinkers".

While some have praised the German government for their handling of the COVID-19 crisis, so far, I do see here a growing chorus of journalists and politicians who apparently cannot bear the fact that scientists are still and continuously learning about the virus, its epidemiology and the related disease pattern(s) - not to speak of economic and social consequences of the lockdown measures.

One relatively important politician (a state MP) had a kind of meltdown in a talk show, recently. Whether it was real or play-acting, he showed outrage over "virologists" telling him first to observe doubling times (to become longer), then the R-factor be be 1 or lower, and now there were talk of low absolute numbers ...

Of course any of us here, I presume, could easily understand this sequence of criteria as an epidemic evolves - hopefully to suppression. But can we expect as much from a type of person which is not into (scientific) data, much less how to deal with uncertain or incomplete data?
Also, the other way around: How should scientists (or statistician of government agencies) respond, whose data are publicly misinterpreted? (e.g.; "There is no excess mortality, so the measures were hugely inappropriate")

My point is, that in the real world (at least a democratic one)

a) decision making is a messy, if not chaotic process (in the latter case, hopefully, evidence being a strange attractor).

b) communication strategies and skills are of utmost importance

best regards, and stay safe,

Hans

Good morning Fraser,

I was focused on that diagram from research to informed decisions, thinking on data providers, users and those involved with the continuous development of e-infrastructures that help promote this network of people, that basically are, in my opinion, responsible not only for the data and evidence but  for new insights and innovation. The beauty when thinking of such systems is the possibility of eliminating/reducing boundaries, being able to involve people with different expertises and cultures that may have different questions that require different data and produce different evidence, and perhaps new decisions or policies. It may make things more complex or complicated, but much richer.

So when mentioning the "human factor" I meant explicitly showing the importance of people that promote and require all mechanisms to communicate, interact, provide and use data, create new demands, and so on.

So back to your question if I consider politics as part of the human factor. For me, politics and policy are central.

All the best,
Dora

Dear all,
I have collaborated with CODATA in the past and with time became a silent reader of the list. I work with online, free, and open biodiversity information systems in Brazil, so what I have to say is based on this experience.

To me, the diagram presented is very linear, going from hypothesis to data that contextualized produces evidence that can lead to a number of options and to informed decisions. It leaves out interaction at all levels, networking, communication, "the human factor". I believe a circular representation would help, with all elements interacting and feeding into and communicating through information/data e-infrastructures.

All the best,
Dora

Greetings Paul et al.
I have enjoyed the discussion on the graphic representation of decision-making as it brought to mind some of my earlier work with agriculture statistics. The information pyramid is a useful tool for identifying the different concepts and components of an information system be it in agriculture or other sectors. I have used the following graphic to illustrate a number of points.

[Inline image]
This graphic was first used as part of training course for agriculture statisticians to provide a context for their work as statisticians.   It shows the linkages between information gleaned from "the world we live in" through to decision-making for policy and program management.  The feedback link indicates that program and policy decisions can influence the phenomena under investigation.  E.g., poverty

It shows that there can be various sources of data that are used to produce a variety of statistical outputs.  One way in which we used this pyramid was to distinguish between aggregate data such as GDP and microdata such as unit records from a population health survey.  This then feeds into the analysis phase (which generally takes place outside of the statistical offices) which is used to contribute to the body of knowledge from policy and program analysts draw their input.

One version of this graphic is contained in a publication I authored for FAO (http://www.fao.org/3/ca6407en/ca6407en.pdf) .  It was also used earlier for a training program done for the World Bank.  Unfortunately I cannot find the link for it.

This line of thinking was inspired by Dr. Jame Bonnen during the 1970s.
James T. Bonnen. 1977. “Assessment of the Current Agricultural Data Base: An Information System Approach.” In A Survey of Agricultural Economics Literature: Quantitative Methods in Agricultural Economics, 1940s to 1970s. Edited by George G, Judge, et. al.

If I would have had Paul's work when I was doing this, I may have thought about infrastructure and community concepts.

Hi Anne,

Thank you for your reference about the reader-leader framework, recognizing we are working with effectively infinite and instantaneous information access in our digital era.

There are conceptual alignments between the diagrams to reveal patterns, trends and process with international, interdisciplinary and inclusive (holistic) integration, contributing  to informed decisions (which operate across a ‘continuum of urgencies’).

Operating short-term to long-term, being holistic with common-interest building is the challenge we collectively face during our global pandemic, understanding there will be a global inflection point with opportunity to enter a renaissance<https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/teaching-negotiation-daily/operating-short-term-to-long-term-through-the-covid-19-pandemic/> afterward as a globally-interconnected civilization.

Good morning!

Another fellow lurker, chiming in for the first time.

We are also involved in the UNESCO open science consultation through the Citizen Science Global Partnership<http://citizenscienceglobal.org/>, where we are (logically) responsible for representing the citizen science perspective.  While I can't speak for the full group involved, from my personal perspective there is another potential point of discussion.

We think of "observers" and "participants" on a spectrum, rather than a binary categorization.  The first version of the diagram seemed to suggest this, but it became less clear that this is the case moving forward.  Also, we don't think the spectrum necessarily ends at "participants," as many citizen science projects are not just "participated in," but "co-designed," or even, in some cases, "co-created."  While not necessarily written with citizen science in mind, I find this paper<https://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/vol1/iss1/5/> helpful for thinking about how roles progress over time.

Happy to chat off thread about UNESCO consultation- I imagine open and FAIR data will be important from the CODATA and CS perspectives alike.



Cheers,

Anne

Hi Niek,

Much improved now.

How about adding education or training for future workforce? Are we supposed to emphasize FAIR data? Also we need an evaluation process for decisions. Just some thoughts.

Best,

Dear Nick
Nice diagram. I think observations = data, so one might replace Observations with ‘theories’ (ideas, hypotheses, notions, myths may also fit here!).
There is the well used flow from data (facts) to information to knowledge to wisdom which is similar conceptually.
Here, evidence = information + knowledge.
Lessons learnt = wisdom.
We also base immediate decisions on theoretical understanding (theories) (even though people often place theory distant from facts) because we cannot wait for more data or evidence before acting now.
Is capacity building the right word, perhaps ‘active learning’ is more accurate. Capacity building is typically used for training people in developing countries, or within a country or organisation for staff training.

Assunto: Re: [CODATA-international] UNESCO Global Consultations on Open Science - Diagram Paul Berkman adapted


Good morning Paul, Kassim and Florian,

 This morning I woke up with the idea of adapting the figure and add the remark of Florian, and add another piece related to transparency and timely communication to the various stakeholders. Now, behind my computer I just read the comments of Kassim in the same direction. Furthermore, the process includes capacity building of other stakeholders (e.g. ministerial departments), and Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning should be added. I also think that research finalize their product with evidence. I kept the pyramid as basis because a circular model which is it in essence would became less clear. Hence, my suggestion would be



[cid:image024.png at 01D62541.6AC9A470]



I’m interested in such a valuable diagram because in the past I used Multiple goal linear programming as tool to provide options for sustainable land use (Mali & Egypt), and currently I focus on bringing action data from multi-disciplinary projects in less developed countries together to find options for synergy and alignment to boost triple impact (People, Planet, Prosperity). We therefore developed the online Development Synergy and Alignment Tool (DevSAT®). Unfortunately, I agree with Hilde from Brazil that not all organizations are willing to share their results (despite their work is paid with public funds and their results could support others in similar agro-ecological and economic conditions).

 Looking forward to your reactions.

 Kind regards,

 Dr. Niek van Duivenbooden

Hi Kassim and Florian,



Thank you for your kind collaboration.

 I appreciate your important observations, as the figure is being applied, trained and refined, with the goal of contributing to informed decisionmaking in our globally-interconnected civilization.  Building common interests and enhancing research activities are most certainly iterative activities in an international, interdisciplinary and inclusive (holistic) manner.  The suggestion of circular is excellent!

 I look forward to continuing dialogue about the development of informed decisions (which operate across a ‘continuum of urgencies’ short-term to long-term), as characterized with science diplomacy, “for the benefit of all on Earth across generations.”

 I hope all is going well.  Stay healthy!!!

 With best regards,



Paul





PS  The theory, methods and skills with informed decisionmaking are still in their infancy and your feedback is most welcome.  Please find attached the initial Science<https://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6363/596> paper, where the figure was introduced in 2017, and subsequent book series preface that was published in January 2020 in the first volume<https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030256739> of Informed Decisionmaking for Sustainability.  Training also is emerging with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), as illustrated last week with Science Diplomacy and Informed Decisionmaking during our Global Pandemic<https://www.unitar.org/event/full-catalog/science-diplomacy-and-informed-decision-making-during-our-global-pandemic>.

I had exactly the same concern, Florian. The solution could be to drop the two unidirectional arrows and add arrows to the triangle in a clockwise direction. There are many other alternatives to graphically present the general framework that challenges trigger problems/questions, then based on available data and knowledge we devise models/solutions which feed into our decision making systems. At some point these models/solutions become obsolete as new data attributes and knowledge arrive, entailing novel approaches. Such is the iterative cycle of scientific enhancement. Best wishes and stay safe.

Dear Paul, dear all,



just a quick shot observation from one of the silent listeners on this channel...



What I am missing on the illustration is the recognition of the importance of feedback in this context.

The pyramid and the one-way arrows make it look very linear / one-directional, which likely falls short.



Kind regards, stay healthy!

Hi Geoffrey,



For the report to UNESCO, in view of open science contributing to informed decisions – which operate across a ‘continuum of urgencies’ short-term to long-term – it may be helpful to consider the methodology of informed decisionmaking (following figure):



[cid:image001.jpg at 01D61EC5.25065190]



The above methodology with associated skills and theory of informed decisionmaking evolved from 2016 discussions with INGSA<https://sites.tufts.edu/sciencediplomacy/files/2019/02/Synthesis_1.pdf> and were introduced Science<https://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6363/596> with subsequent elaboration.  Informed decisionmaking is now being trained with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) as well as with national diplomatic academies, triangulating education, research and leadership with lifelong learning in support of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization goals.



I hope all is going well.  Stay healthy!!!

Paul

Note that ISC is producing a major paper for UNESCO on this topic. It would be sensible at a later stage to have a conversation between ISC and CODATA about how each might add complementary value. It might even be worth thinking about sending inputs from them in together, with some linking text.

UNESCO has launched a global consultation on Open Science https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/consultation with a view to developing a standard-setting instrument in the form of a Recommendation, to be adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in November 2021.



CODATA has been invited to contribute to this process, to provide inputs from the organisation and to mobilise our global expert community.



H3: Global Consultations on Open Science

To build a global consensus on Open Science, the development of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science relies on an inclusive, transparent and consultative process involving all countries and all stakeholders.



The Recommendation is expected to define shared values and principles for Open Science, and point to concrete measures on Open Access and Open Data with proposals for action to bring citizens closer to science, and commitments for a better distribution and production of science in the world.



The process of drafting the Recommendation is regionally balanced, highly inclusive and collaborative. It involves multiple stakeholders and is expected to lead to the adoption of the Recommendation by UNESCO Member States in 2021.



In developing the Open Science Recommendation, UNESCO is gathering inputs from all the regions and all the interested stakeholders, through online consultations, regional and thematic meetings and numerous debates on implications, benefits and challenges of Open Science across the globe.



H3 Online Consultation

Are you a scientist, a publisher, a science policy maker or someone with experience and interest in Open Science? Your input is important to the UNESCO process.



Please participate in the survey designed to collect inputs for the development of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science.  The survey may be completed (in English, French or Spanish) either online or downloading documents to be returned to the UNESCO team at openscience at unesco.org<mailto:openscience at unesco.org>



For all links and further information please see the page on the UNESCO website: https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/consultation



The deadline for submitting inputs is 15 June 2020.


H3 Thematic and regional meetings

UNESCO will hold a series of online and face to face consultations to support an open debate on Open Science awareness, understanding and policy development to feed into the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. In this context, a series of regional and thematic consultations are being organized. For more information see the page on the UNESCO website or contact the UNESCO team at openscience at unesco.org<mailto:openscience at unesco.org>



UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science will complement the 2017 Recommendation on Science and Scientific Research. It will also build upon the UNESCO Strategy on Open Access to Scientific Information and Research and the new UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources.



For further information and useful links please see the page on the UNESCO website: https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/consultation



Thanks,

Asha
