‘Research data management’ is booming. Urgently demanded and driven
by such diverse actors as research funding institutions, who are interested in quality
control and the efficient use of data, or the ‘Open’ movements, who advocate free
access to knowledge, ethnologists and cultural anthropologists meet this topic with
reluctance and often with skepticism. Rightly so, on the one hand, since the archiving
of data and, above all, the intended reuse of data by third parties raise a number of
practical, legal and ethical questions. On the other hand, the question of how digital
data can be organized and especially permanently preserved and used is virulent also
in the ethnological disciplines. In any case, the debate on the subject is urgent because
overarching regulatory processes have long since been set in motion.
This contribution discusses different aspects of the debate on data management
and sketches problem areas, open questions and opportunities which can arise for the
ethnological disciplines. Not least, the changing conditions of knowledge production
and circulation which occur alongside the establishment of digital techniques and
technologies require historical contextualization. Therefore, this contribution also attempts
a discipline-specific historical categorization.
