 <p>(Gobbo &amp; Benini, 2016) expand on the <abbr title="System-LoA-Model-Structure">SLMS</abbr> scheme by highlighting the challenges and intricacies of quantifying and qualifying computational information. They advocate for a comprehensive methodology that appreciates both the physical and conceptual dimensions of data, facilitating a deeper understanding of programmable artefacts and their informational content. This perspective not only complements the analytical capabilities of <abbr title="Actor-Network Theory">ANT</abbr> but also opens new avenues for investigating the dynamics of information and technology.</p>
 <p>As I venture to revise the epistemological foundations and introduce Haraway’s concept of <abbr title="Situated Knowledges">SK</abbr>, it becomes increasingly manifest that the integration of <abbr title="Actor-Network Theory">ANT</abbr> with Floridi’s <abbr title="Philosophy of Information">PI</abbr> and the insights of computational information theory provides a robust framework for exploring the complexities of digital and networked environments. This interdisciplinary approach lays the groundwork for a comprehensive exploration of the digital world, emphasising the importance of situated, contextual knowledge in understanding and navigating the digital landscape.</p>

Rather than synthesising these theories, this chapter places an emphasis on situating <abbr title="Linked Open Usable Data">LOUD</abbr> within a feminist perspective to construct a new materialistic foundation reminiscent of Haraway’s ‘alignment in tentacular worlding’ [(Haraway, 2016) p. 42].

 <p>To analyse the relevant actor-networks effectively, especially being part of both the <abbr title="International Image Interoperability Framework">IIIF</abbr> and Linked Art communities, a particular lens is required. <abbr title="Actor-Network Theory">ANT</abbr>, while expansive, has faced criticism for its perceived flatness in analysing networks. Here, Haraway’s <abbr title="Situated Knowledges">SK</abbr> becomes instrumental, providing a stance that enriches the <abbr title="Actor-Network Theory">ANT</abbr>-grounded theoretical framework with a comprehensive lens that prioritises context in shaping knowledge. <abbr title="Situated Knowledges">SK</abbr> emphasises that knowledge is always situated, partial, and contextually produced, offering a critical perspective on determining relevance within networks. <abbr title="Situated Knowledges">SK</abbr> complements <abbr title="Actor-Network Theory">ANT</abbr> by adding depth to the analysis of actor-networks. It highlights the significance of context – both human and non-human – in the production of knowledge, thereby enriching the theoretical framework with a nuanced lens for exploring the dynamics within the <abbr title="Linked Open Usable Data">LOUD</abbr> space.</p>
 <p><abbr title="Situated Knowledges">SK</abbr>, as articulated by (Haraway, 1988), emphasises the contextual nature of knowledge and challenges the pursuit of an objective, universal truth divorced from the position of the knower. Haraway’s framework, which integrates standpoint theory, concedes that knowledge is inherently shaped by its social, cultural and historical context, and supports an understanding of knowledge as partial and situated. This approach, noting the influence of epistemological privilege and intersectionality, argues against universalism by stressing the importance of being conscious of the specific perspectives and biases that inform one’s understanding. The relevance of <abbr title="Situated Knowledges">SK</abbr> to <abbr title="Actor-Network Theory">ANT</abbr> lies in its complementary perspective of acknowledging the diverse, context-specific factors that influence knowledge production within networks, enriching <abbr title="Actor-Network Theory">ANT</abbr>'s analysis of actor-networks by incorporating a critical, reflexive lens on the situatedness of knowledge.</p>
