“…Jirotka, Olson, and Lee [8] for a recent overview). One key perspective is that of Star and Ruhleder [17] who note that infrastructure is inherently relational, with components that are embedded inside of other systems and infrastructures, and are learned as part of membership in a community.…”

“…These pipelines often enable the sharing of data. In addition to the eScience community, the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) community studies the development and application of these software systems, often examining the social and organizational work of creating and maintaining infrastructure [3,8,17]. Furthermore, multiple scholars note the importance of the context of the production of datasets to their sharing and reuse by other researchers, although they primarily focus on issues of trust [5,9].…”

The production and use of software pipelines is a key component of much modern scientific research. We present emerging findings from our qualitative, social science study of a radio astronomy group developing software pipelines as they produce a data processing infrastructure. This paper examines how these researchers co-produce data products and software pipelines to enact their research infrastructure. We investigate the work of co-producing data and software to illustrate that to better support data-intensive science, we need to understand the practices that enable and produce data products, software, and ultimately infrastructures.

“…We draw on the expanding stream of infrastructure-influenced studies in CSCW (Jirotka et al 2013;Pollock and Williams 2010;Star and Ruhleder 1994). These studies mirror the growing focus in CSCW on the large-scale and long-term support for collaboration provided by infrastructures (Ribes and Lee 2010).…”

Abstract. Technologies for collaboration within the oil and gas industry, which are referred to as Integrated Operations, challenge traditional geographical, disciplinary, and organisational boundaries. Fuelled by the availability of sensor networks, faster data transfer technologies, shared data exchange formats, and collaborative work flows, Integrated Operations entail difficult transformations at the technological, social, and political levels. We describe and discuss the efforts of a Scandinavian oil and gas company to develop an information infrastructure for real-time subsea environmental monitoring. This accentuates the ongoing controversy among environmental concerns, fisheries, and the oil and gas industry. Theoretically leaning on infrastructuring and, methodologically, on the concept of infrastructural inversion, our analysis specifically targets the evolution of emergent infrastructures. We identify and discuss the increasing degree of entanglement of the infrastructuring process over time by empirically characterizing two concepts: (1) bootstrapping, which is particularly pronounced in the early stages of infrastructure evolution and involves exploring the local feasibility of subsea environmental monitoring methods and devices, and (2) enactment, which is increasingly present in the later stages of infrastructure evolution to weave environmental information into the agenda of heterogeneous oil and gas professionals.
