Reflections on Some Basic Issues Regarding Archival Data Factors
Whether and how archival data can become a factor of production is a theoretical and practical question that urgently needs to be responded to in the era of digital economy.Supported by Marxist political economy,this paper firstly puts forward the cognitive logic of archival data factorization,i.e.,reinterpreting archival data and grasping its generalized connotation in the context of digital economy;recognizing the essential requirements and following the intrinsic law of factors of production to recognize archival data factorization;and grasping the necessary conditions and recognizing archival data factorization in terms of the conditions of the subject and the object.Secondly,it argues the possibility of archival data becoming a factor of production from the aspects of value and use value,and analyzes the necessary conditions for archival data factorization from the dimensions of the subject's willingness and ability to participate in the factorization of archival data,as well as the content,form and scale of archival data objects.Finally,it clarifies the three links of archival data factorization,namely,resourceization,productization and capitalization,and analyzes the characteristics of archival data factors that are different from those of general data factors,namely,high credibility and outstanding historicity.
