“…CI includes a goal to seamlessly integrate the diverse technologies that make up these systems-sensors, databases, processors, operating systems, and visualization tools to name only a few components-and the ways that humans interact with them. The data that populate these systems are also heterogeneous, and each CI endeavor brings with it efforts to account for data's context of production (Faniel and Jacobsen 2010, this issue), context of use (Bietz and Lee 2009), and its means of dissemination across multiple disciplinary communities and often also long periods of time (Karasti et al this issue). For instance, Faniel and Jacobsen discuss the particularities of evaluating trustworthy data in a subfield of Earthquake Engineering, thus pointing at the difficulties of trying to achieve data that is trustworthy across disciplines and highlighting the difficulty of attempting to serve domains with different needs.…”
