Because that is the actual goal of data. I mean analysis in the broad sense of attempting to gain understanding from it. That would include things like looking at a visualization, directly inspecting a datum in csv, or using a computational system to perform a search. There are plenty of things that happen in the lifecycle of data, but they all have the goal of some sort of analysis in the end. That need drives the transitions that happen in the life cycle that make it suitable for use as data rather than, say, software or music. The nearest thing to being an exception that I can think of is data art, but even then, what makes it data art rather than some other kind of digital art is that it uses ones and zeroes that have been organized as they would be for analysis, and the result is something that can provide understanding in more ways than one. -- GitHub Notification of comment by agreiner Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/1221#issuecomment-602735441 using your GitHub account
