Abstract This paper proposes a standard documentation framework for Data Science projects, called Databook. It is a result of five years of action-research on multiple projects in several sectors of activity in France, and of a confrontation of standard theoretical Data Science processes, such as CRISP_DM, with the reality of the field. As a vector for knowledge sharing and capitalisation, the Databook has been identified as one of the main facilitators of Human Data Mediation. Transformed into an operational prototype of simple and minimalist documentation, it has since been tested then on about a hundred Data Science projects, has proven its benefits for the internal and external efficiency of Data Science projects, and can be turned into a more ambitious standard framework for data patrimony valorisation and data quality governance.

Cet article propose un cadre documentaire standard, appelé Databook, pour les projets de Data Science. Il est le résultat de cinq années de recherche-action sur de multiples projets dans plusieurs secteurs d'activité en France, et d'une confrontation des processus théoriques standards de la Data Science, tels que CRISP_DM, avec la réalité du terrain. En tant que vecteur de partage et de capitalisation des connaissances, le Databook a été identifié comme l'un des principaux facilitateurs de la Médiation des Données Humaines. Transformé en prototype opérationnel de documentation simple et minimaliste, il a depuis été testé sur une centaine de projets de Data Science, a prouvé ses bénéfices pour l'efficacité interne et externe des projets de Data Science, et peut être transformé en un cadre standard plus ambitieux pour la valorisation du patrimoine de données et la gouvernance de la qualité des données.
