New Forms of Data ▶ Internet data, derived from social
media and other online interactions (including data gathered by connected people and devices, eg mobile devices, wearable technology, Internet of Things)
▶ Tracking data, monitoring the movement of people and objects (including GPS/geolocation data, traffic and other transport sensor data, CCTV images etc)
▶ Satellite and aerial imagery (eg Google Earth, Landsat, infrared, radar mapping etc) http://www.oecd.org/sti/sci-tech/new-data-for-
understanding-the-human-condition.htm
New Research Questions ▶ Social media data offers
the possibility of studying social processes as they unfold at the level of populations, as an alternative to traditional surveys or interviews.
▶ The data from social media is described as "qualitative data on a quantitative scale" and requires innovative analysis techniques.

A rehearsal for the future
▶ The Internet of Things describes a world in which everyday objects are connected to a network so that data can be shared
▶ But it is really as much about people as the inanimate object
▶ It is impossible to anticipate all the social changes that could be created by connecting billions of devices

“Panoptes has been designed so that it’s easier for us to update and maintain, and to allow more powerful tools for project builders. It’s also open source from the start, and if you find bugs or have suggestions about the new site you can note them on Github (or, if you’re so inclined, contribute to the codebase yourself).”

• Established computationally demanding social science includes simulation, modelling
• Social media analytics, working with real time data and not just text but image and video
• Conducting analyses and visualisations interactively • Data linkage, and protection of privacy, are
algorithmically demanding • Revisiting established methods, for example in
machine learning • Cybersecurity
