This is straight from the school of Peter Naur.

He called it datalogy, the science of the nature and the use of data.

See Peter Naur: “The Science of Datalogy”, Communications of the ACM, July 1966.

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/365719.366510

Incidentally, he became the first professor of datalogy in Denmark at the University of Copenhagen, founding DIKU, the Institute of Datalogy.




Datalogy seems like a bad name especially now in the era of "Big Data" & "Data Scientists"..

Maybe Computology would be a better name..
