In the digital era,data has become an important factor of production.In the traditional material production,constant capital as a factor of production participates in the one-time use and one-time value transfer of labor products.In the digital era,however,the process from data as a factor of production to data products will experience repeated production and value transfer processes.This change is the result of the rep-licability and shareability of data as a factor of production,and it reflects the difference of data from constant capital in participating in the production and value transfer processes.In this regard,it is necessary to deeply analyze the similarities and differences between data and constant capital based on Marx's theory of factors of production and constant capital.Such analysis will help to interpret the repeated and parallel development of production and value transfer that are caused by the particularity of data as a factor of production,as well as the resulting concealment of data commodity ownership,providing theoretical support for determining the value and ownership of data commodities.
