Which term is correct Datafication or Datification?

Question

I have recently started reading Introduction to Data Science: A python approach to Concepts, Techniques, and Applications  and taking notes on Data Science.
Chapter 1 repeatedly uses the term Datification(the process of rendering into data aspects of the world that have never been quantified before). I could not find the word in the dictionary and the web shows some results but with different spellings Datafication(a technological trend turning many aspects of our life into data).
I am wondering which one is correct?

It's a neologism, there's no standard spelling or even meaning.
For the record there are related terms which are more standard: "data representation" (usually low-level) or "knowledge representation".
