I kind of like the Finnish term "tietojenkäsittelytiede" ("data processing science") and its older form "tietojenkäsittelyoppi" ("data processing theory").
It combines the focus on the process in computer science / computing with the focus on the data in datalogy / informatics. It tells that the process is what we are really interested in. At the same time, it admits that the data and the results are what ultimately matters and that computation is just an irrelevant side effect we would like to avoid.
