Theoretical or Conceptual Model

The Data Science Biocultural Diversity Action (DSBD) Framework: Reenvisioning Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs for Data Science and Biocultural Diversity Efforts

Novel diagnosis and prescriptive frameworks for assessing oneself and surroundings and exploring the prescriptions of various modern data science tools towards amelioration.

Questions related to the Framework’s Eight Levels:

• Can Maslow’s “Biological and physiological needs” level be sufficiently explored in data science under a new lens of “Ambience”?

• Can Maslow’s “Safety and security needs” level be sufficiently explored in data science under a new lens of “Assets”?

• Can Maslow’s “Love and belonging needs” level be sufficiently explored in data science under a new lens of “Affiliation”?

• Can Maslow’s “Self-esteem needs” level be sufficiently explored in data science under a new lens of “Attitudes”?

• Can Maslow’s “Cognitive needs” level be sufficiently explored in data science under a new lens of “Analysis”?

• Can Maslow’s “Aesthetic needs” level be sufficiently explored in data science under a new lens of “Artistry”?

• Can Maslow’s “Self-actualization needs” level be sufficiently explored in data science under a new lens of “Awareness”?

• Can Maslow’s “Transcendence needs” level be sufficiently explored in data science under a new lens of “Altruism”?
