项目摘要

Just as data-intensive technologies have spread in the business sector, so too have they increasingly been deployed by public institutions, including city, state, and local governments. Many public-serving institutions are currently expanding their capacity to create and use data by investing in infrastructure, hiring qualified experts such as data scientists or data engineers, and retooling their organizations to incorporate data gathering and data analysis into key processes. Central to these efforts are the production and circulation of "data dashboards". Dashboards are dynamic visual composites that summarize and collate data from multiple sources, and they serve as a primary site of the communication of data work to stakeholders and the public. Dashboards use graphical conventions to simplify and present the underlying data they represent, providing snapshots of civic activity derived from diverse data streams. By consulting data, publishing dashboards, and promoting this work to internal and external constituencies, public organizations hope to achieve more effective decision-making, competitive advantage over other organizations, more efficient allocation of resources, and greater understanding of the audiences they wish to reach. But public sector organizations differ from their private sector analogues in many vital ways and research to date has yet to fully explore exactly what public institutions mean when they aspire to make themselves data-driven, and the effects this has on public services and outcomes.This project looks at public-serving data work in general and dashboards in particular as sites of interpretation and contestation, as artefacts that embody arguments about the public interest. The project team uses ethnographic approaches to study how people in public administration put data to work. In particular, the project team examines the role played by data dashboards, including how they are developed and how they are used to communicate with the public. This research focuses on four related questions: 1) How are dashboards and visualizations incorporated into organizational processes of deliberation, communication, and decision-making? 2) How do dashboards circulate within and amongst organizations with a public service mission? 3) How do domain experts interact with dashboards meant to inform their work? 4) How does the public interact with dashboards meant to explain organizational activity? This project will give insight into the construction of dashboards by focusing on the conditions and sites where they are produced, on the the data professionals and other who design, code, and implement them, on the platforms that make them possible, and on the audiences who encounter and interact with finished visualizations. This project uses two sites of important public work: city government and public education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

正如数据密集型技术在商业领域所传播的一样，包括城市，州和地方政府在内的公共机构也越来越多地部署了它们。许多公共服务机构目前正在通过投资基础架构，雇用合格的专家（例如数据科学家或数据工程师）来扩大其创建和使用数据的能力，并重新编辑其组织以将数据收集和数据分析纳入关键流程中。这些努力的核心是“数据仪表板”的生产和流通。仪表板是动态的视觉复合材料，总结了来自多个来源的数据，它们是与利益相关者和公众进行数据工作的主要站点。仪表板使用图形约定简化并提供了它们所代表的基本数据，从而提供了来自不同数据流的公民活动的快照。通过咨询数据，发布仪表板并将这项工作推广到内部和外部选区，公共组织希望实现更有效的决策，比其他组织的竞争优势，更有效的资源分配以及对他们希望吸引的受众的更多了解。 But public sector organizations differ from their private sector analogues in many vital ways and research to date has yet to fully explore exactly what public institutions mean when they aspire to make themselves data-driven, and the effects this has on public services and outcomes.This project looks at public-serving data work in general and dashboards in particular as sites of interpretation and contestation, as artefacts that embody arguments about the public interest.项目团队使用人种学方法来研究公共行政人员如何将数据投入工作。特别是，该项目团队研究了数据仪表板的作用，包括它们的开发方式以及如何与公众交流。这项研究重点是四个相关问题：1）如何将仪表板和可视化纳入组织，沟通和决策的组织过程中？ 2）仪表板如何通过公共服务任务的组织内部和之间发出？ 3）域专家如何与仪表板互动以告知他们的工作？ 4）公众如何与仪表板互动以解释组织活动？该项目将通过关注其生产的条件和站点，在使其成为可能的平台上设计，编码和实施的数据专业人员以及其他人以及遇到成品可视化和互动的受众群体上，将仪表板的构建深入了解。该项目使用两个重要公共工作的站点：市政府和公共教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估值得支持的。
