Regulating data travel in the life sciences: the impact of commodification

摘要: The travel of small facts (such as data) across geographical locations and disciplines is increasingly regulated by the private public sponsors digital databases. My analysis focuses on contrast between strategies supported sectors in governing bioinformatic data exchange. Up to now, have encouraged product-driven competition among database curators users, which results creation databases whose use survival bound specific projects they are employed. Public tended instead favour resource-driven competition, where seen resources for all biologists long term, irrespectively context use. By focusing this difference its consequences advancement biomedical research, I show how ongoing commodification life sciences affects ways research contexts. conclude that values methodological criteria currently endorsed privately sponsored a disruptive impact ability researchers build each other’s work, an issue recognised both governmental agencies corporations involved production.
