Originating in scientific discovery, it is being applied to every human endeavor for \u003cbr\u003ewhich there is adequate data. While remarkable successes have been achieved, even greater claims have \u003cbr\u003ebeen made. Benefits, challenge, and risks abound. The science underlying data science has yet to emerge. \u003cbr\u003eMaturity is more than a decade away. This claim is based firstly on observing the centuries-long \u003cbr\u003edevelopments of its predecessor paradigms - empirical, theoretical, and Jim Gray's Fourth Paradigm of \u003cbr\u003eScientific Discovery (Hey, Tansley \u0026amp; Tolle, 2009) (aka eScience, data-intensive, computational, procedural); \u003cbr\u003eand secondly on my studies of over 150 data science use cases, several data science-based startups, and, \u003cbr\u003eon my scientific advisory role for Insight1, a Data Science Research Institute (DSRI) that requires that I \u003cbr\u003eunderstand the opportunities, state of the art, and research challenges for the emerging discipline of data \u003cbr\u003escience. This chapter addresses essential questions for a DSRI: What is data science? and What is worldclass data science research?
