Paradata types and the practices of using and generating paradata intersect and influence each other. This chapter inquires into their linkages and how diverging paradata generation strategies lead to paradata that function differently despite the occasional similarities of paradata artefacts. The discussion draws from a comparison of two major strategies of paradata generation, one based on requesting input from researchers through asking them to provide answers to specific questions, and another on asking them to provide narrative descriptions of their activities. While generating paradata through asking questions might help to address the needs of structured and technically interoperable paradata, storying can contribute better to conveying an in-depth understanding of practice. The key question is, however, that instead of merely focusing paradata artefacts, for the usability of paradata, it is vital to consider how the documentation is induced and made.
