We are happy to invite you to the ABRI Lunch Seminar Of data and cows: Data governance in t he Parmigiano Reggiano production chain by Prof. Elena Parmiggiani (D epartment of Computer Science, Norwegian University of Science and Te chnology (NTNU)) organized by ABRI and the KIN Center for Digital Inn ovation.

The seminar will take place on Friday, May 29th, from 12:00 to 13:00 (HG-05A36). You can find more information below.

This is a lunch seminar; please register your attendance by accep ting/declining your emailed invitation by Tuesday, May 26th at the la test (for catering). 

Abstract
Current Information Systems research suggests that data value is achieved th rough situated labor. Based on an ongoing study of the Parmigiano Reg giano production chain—a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) ecos ystem in Northern Italy, I investigate the role of data governance in maintaining product value. I find that digital records are laborious ly tethered to the fluid biological material reality of the material referent, including cows, milk, cheese, forage, and bacteria. Data go vernance manifests as a craft of distributed stewardship, in which th e material referent must continuously demonstrate its value to sustai n the validity of data, and vice versa. I illustrate the interplay be tween data of practice derived from sensory expertise and data of rec ord to stabilize biological variability. As the Parmigiano Reggiano C onsortium explores ways to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI), I d iscuss some opportunities by highlighting how AI can be designed to a ugment embodied human judgment in material-intensive environments. Th ere is a potential for AI to serve as a relational tool that enables predictive quality management by integrating granular process data wi th traditional craftsmanship.

Current Informati on Systems research suggests that data value is achieved through situ ated labor. Based on an ongoing study of the Parmigiano Reggiano prod uction chain—a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) ecosystem in N orthern Italy, I investigate the role of data governance in maintaini ng product value. I find that digital records are laboriously tethere d to the fluid biological material reality of the material referent, including cows, milk, cheese, forage, and bacteria. Data governance m anifests as a craft of distributed stewardship, in which the material referent must continuously demonstrate its value to sustain the vali dity of data, and vice versa. I illustrate the interplay between data of practice derived from sensory expertise and data of record to sta bilize biological variability. As the Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium explores ways to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI), I discuss som e opportunities by highlighting how AI can be designed to augment emb odied human judgment in material-intensive environments. There is a p otential for AI to serve as a relational tool that enables predictive quality management by integrating granular process data with traditi onal craftsmanship.
