Abstract

Although data science builds on knowledge from computer science, mathematics, statistics, and other disciplines, data science is a unique field with many mysteries to unlock: challenging scientific questions and pressing questions of societal importance. This article starts with meta-questions about data science as a discipline and then elaborates on ten ideas for the basis of a research agenda for data science.
