Description of the research topic:
The aim is to analyze the theoretical, methodological and technical components of big data to find out whether and to what extent big data has started to become a discipline, and perhaps a new kind of economics. The topic covers making inquiries into the explicit and implicit philosophical commitments of big data and offers a comparative sociological study of big data using communities and scientific communities in general. The topic can be approached by using the boundary work concept of science and technology studies (STS).
