  The increasing generation and collection of personal data has created a
complex ecosystem, often collaborative but sometimes combative, around
companies and individuals engaging in the use of these data. We propose that
the interactions between these agents warrants a new topic of study: Human-Data
Interaction (HDI). In this paper we discuss how HDI sits at the intersection of
various disciplines, including computer science, statistics, sociology,
psychology and behavioural economics. We expose the challenges that HDI raises,
organised into three core themes of legibility, agency and negotiability, and
we present the HDI agenda to open up a dialogue amongst interested parties in
the personal and big data ecosystems.
