datankeruuseen

Datankeruuseen is an interdisciplinary concept describing the study, design, and management of data collection processes across domains. It emphasizes the end-to-end data lifecycle, including acquisition, quality control, metadata, provenance, preservation, and reuse. While not an established academic discipline, datankeruuseen is used in certain speculative and industry discussions to frame best practices for trustworthy data ecosystems.

Etymology: The term is a constructed compound blending the English word "data" with a stylized suffix "-keruuseen," intended to evoke collection, stewardship, and continuous improvement. It is associated with discussions of data governance, data science, and information management.

Core concepts include data provenance and lineage, metadata standards, data quality metrics, and governance frameworks. Datankeruuseen stresses transparency, reproducibility, privacy, and ethical considerations in data handling, as well as interoperability across systems and domains.

Common methods and tools associated with datankeruuseen include data catalogs, metadata schemas, provenance tracking systems, quality dashboards, and privacy-preserving analytics such as de-identification and differential privacy. It also encompasses policies for access control, data sharing, and retention.

Applications span research data management, industrial analytics, healthcare data exchanges, environmental monitoring, and smart-city initiatives. Advocates view datankeruuseen as a practical lens for aligning technical design with governance, ethics, and user trust.

Critics argue that the term can be vague or duplicative of existing disciplines like data governance, data management, and information stewardship. Proponents acknowledge it as a conceptual umbrella to highlight the importance of data collection practices within broader data ecosystems.
