Distributed metrologies, open data and data literacy
The techno-political and socio-cognitive processing of "citizen" data
Ce numéro des Cahiers du Numérique vise à interroger les agencements de données impliquant des dispositifs de métrologies dites « citoyennes », envisagés plus globalement ici, comme des configurations techno-politiques de production et de traitement de données, caractérisées par des formes de participation polycentrique, plus ou moins institutionnalisées, et s’appuyant sur des infrastructures de publication et de traitement des données, sur des actants sensitifs et des protocoles, sur des sémiotiques et interfaces multiples (allant du capteur le plus simple aux sémiotisations les plus élaborées).

The politics of modeling and computing for policy
The aims is to putting in discussion the modes and effects of the use of computational tools in government and public policies. Computation, be it based on statistical modeling or newest techniques of predictive analytics, holds the promise to be able to anticipate and act infallibly on futures and uncertain situations more generally. That the future is an object of governmental knowledge and action is nothing new though. So, what is the characteristic of today’s relationship with futures in policy making and action? To what extent do the means of computation – from statistical models to learning algorithms employed in predictive analytics — change this relationship, and the collective capacity and legitimacy to engage with future, uncertain situations? Do technologies of prediction change policies and their politics and, if so, how?
