• Paul writes workflows for identifying biological pathways implicated in resistance to Trypanosomiasis in cattle
• Paul meets Jo who is investigating Whipworm in mouse.
• Jo reuses one of Paul’s workflow without change.
• Jo identifies the biological pathways involved in sex dependence in the mouse model, believed to be involved in the ability of mice to expel the parasite.
• Previously a manual two year study by Jo had failed to do this.

The challenge is to foster the co-constituted socio-technical system on the right i.e. a computationally-enabled sense-making network of expertise, data, models and narratives.
Big data elephant versus sense-making network?

Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration… The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999
The Order of Social Machines
Some Social Machines
Four take-home messages:
1. Quadrant 4 = more machines + more people
2. Paradigm shift to data-driven research: statistical challenges
3. What are the objects in the sensemaking network and how are they shared?
4. New forms of data => New methods, new objects, new intermediaries in the data ecosystem, and new Social Machines
