Data as "Oil of the 21st Century"

Due to the ongoing digitisation and datafication, data in all its variety changes our society and play an important role in our everyday life, sometimes without us realising it. Thus, competencies regarding the handling of data as well as their conscious use and critical reflection (Data Literacy) represent essential qualifications. That is not limited to university studies, research or certain experts groups. Data Literacy is regarded as a part of the so-called "future skills", a collection of skills that will become increasingly important regarding workplaces but also regarding the social participation.
