The DATA Iceberg

THE DATA ICEBERG

is everywhere in your daily life. You might use a watch or app that registers your sleep, you use online maps to find your way and might watch the nice movie that Netflix recommended you. We and the devices we interact with produce lots of data, but not all this data is visible. Some data created by machines is never seen by us.Just like an iceberg that we can only see the top of, the largest part of the data we or our devices are producing is hidden underneath the surface.

DATA...

YOUR TASK

Correctly categorise the data that is produced in the scenarios you are presented. TIP: In these scenarios, focus on the highlighted text.

Become more aware of the data you produce; by yourself, in interaction with a machine, or by a machine producing data about your data in an independent way.

GOAL OF THE GAME

THE DATA ICEBERG

You are presented three practice scenarios to familiarise yourself with the different data types. Don’t worry if you don’t know yet which data type to pick, just make your best guess!

PRACTICE SCENARIO 1

You write a tweet to express your disappointment in the weather this summer.

Raw data is created by interactions of humans and machines, where humans provide the data to the machine. Data is called raw when it’s not processed yet and two types of raw data are content and sensor data. Content data is knowingly created by humans, for example when you provide personal details to set up an account for an app or upload a video on a platform. Sensor data is human data registered by a sensor, for example when your movements are registered by your smartwatch. This registration is not visible to you as a user, whereas the content data often is.

ANSWER:Visible raw data Unprocessed data created directly by human-machine interactions

THE DATA ICEBERG

Instead of working yesterday, you used your time to watch funny cat videos on TikTok. When you log in today, the only thing that appears in your timeline are cats.

PRACTICE SCENARIO 2

THE DATA ICEBERG

‘Data about data’ (metadata) that is created as a side effect of your interaction with a digital device. Machines can use algorithms to process and analyse the raw data you provide to create new types of data, which can be visible or invisible. Here, TikTok registered that you were watching many cat videos and determined that you have a preference for them. Invisible data that TikTok gathers, for example, is when you are watching, the time spent watching, and the location of the device you used.

ANSWER:Visible analytical data Processed data created by machines after human-machine interactions

CORRECT DATA TYPE

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) enables programs and computers to exchange messages using a network. It creates a connection between a source and a destination and breaks down the data in smaller data packages.

PRACTICE SCENARIO 3

THE DATA ICEBERG

This is data that is invisible to users, therefore it’s placed at the bottom of the iceberg. This data is necessary for applications and software to work and for machines to communicate with each other. Other examples include authentication steps or data sharing protocols. Some protocols become visible through your web address, for example http:// or https//: which both refer to protocols. For every interaction with a device, functional data is necessary as it ensures that machines and programs work and communicate properly. Thus, in every scenario in this game, functional data could be chosen as a correct answer, however, we ask you to choose it only if none of the other data types apply.

RAW DATA Unprocessed data created directly by human-machine interactions Raw data is created by interactions of humans and machines, where humans provide the data to the machine. Data is called raw when it’s not processed yet and two types of raw data are content and sensor data. Content data is knowingly created by humans, for example when you write down personal details to set up an account for an app or upload a video on a platform. Sensor data is human data registered by a sensor, for example when your movements are registered by your smartwatch. This registration is not visible to you as a user, whereas the content data often is. ANALYTICAL DATA Processed data created by machines after human-machine interactions ‘Data about data’ (metadata) that is created as a side effect of your interaction with a digital device. Machines can use algorithms to process and analyse the raw data you provide to create new types of data, which can be visible or invisible. Here, Facebook registered you watching many cat video’s and determined you have a preference for them. This analytical data can for example give information about individual use of services. Other examples you can think of: if you take a picture, the location and time of the picture can be stored and accessible. Moreover, a web-statistics service can use the order in which you visit specific websites and the time you spent on it to determine your online preferences. FUNCTIONAL DATA Data created by machines to enable machine to machine communication This is data that is invisible to us humans, but necessary for applications and software to work and for machines to communicate with each other. Other examples you can think of are authentication steps or data sharing protocols. For every interaction with a device that creates raw and analytical data, functional data is necessary because this ensures that machines and programs work and communicate properly. Therefore, in every scenario in this game, functional data could be chosen as a correct answer. However, we ask you to choose it only if none of the other data types apply.

Content data is knowingly created by humans, for example when you provide personal details to set up an account for an app or upload a video on a platform. Sensor data is human data registered by a sensor, for example when your movements are registered by your smartwatch. This registration is not visible to you as a user, whereas the content data often is.

Data is called raw when it’s not processed yet and two types of raw data are content and sensor data. Content data is knowingly created by humans, for example when you provide personal details to set up an account for an app or upload a video on a platform. Sensor data is human data registered by a sensor, for example when your movements are registered by your smartwatch. This registration is not visible to you as a user, whereas the content data often is. ANALYTICAL DATA Processed data created by machines after human-machine interactions ‘Data about data’ (metadata) that is created as a side effect of your interaction with a digital device. Machines can use algorithms to process and analyse the raw data you provide to create new types of data, which can be visible or invisible. Here, TikTok registered that you were watching many cat videos and determined that you have a preference for them. Invisible data that TikTok gathers is for example when you are watching, the time spent watching, and the location of the device you used. FUNCTIONAL DATA Data created by machines to enable machine to machine communication This is data that is invisible to users, therefore it’s placed at the bottom of the iceberg. This data is necessary for applications and software to work and for machines to communicate with each other. Other examples include authentication steps or data sharing protocols. Some protocols become visible through your web address, for example http:// or https//: refer to protocols. For every interaction with a device, functional data is necessary as it ensures that machines and programs work and communicate properly. Thus, in every scenario in this game, functional data could be chosen as a correct answer, however, we ask you to choose it only if none of the other data types apply.

I connect a mouse to my laptop by plugging it into the USB port. My laptop detects the mouse and sends packages of data from my mouse to the computer.

Congratulations! You have worked your way through all 10 data-producing scenarios! We encounter interactions with machines regularly in our daily lives. As you might have experienced, it can be quite difficult to describe what data is produced. And not all data is visible, so being aware of invisible data types can help you in deciding what data you actually want to share!
