These next two empirical chapters look at classification and work practice. Taking the example of the design of a system for classifying nursing work (NIC), we examine how classification systems that represent work embody multiple tensionsnotably in this case between control and autonomy (chapter 7) and the representation of current work practice and learning from previous generations of practice (chapter 8). Such tensions are integral to the operation of work classifications. Due attention should be paid to their occurrence in order to evaluate the political and ethical implications of the introduction of new classificatory infrastructures. |
