Beyond control over data : Conceptualizing data sovereignty from a social contract perspective
- 2024

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the data economy, data sovereignty is often conceptualized as data providers’ ability to control their shared data. While control is essential, the current literature overlooks how this facet interrelates with other sovereignty facets and contextual conditions. Drawing from social contract theory and insights from 31 expert interviews, we propose a data sovereignty conceptual framework encompassing protection, participation, and provision facets. The protection facets establish data sharing foundations by emphasizing baseline rights, such as data ownership. Building on this foundation, the participation facet, through responsibility divisions, steers the provision facets. Provision comprises facets such as control, security, and compliance mechanisms, thus ensuring that foundational rights are preserved during and after data sharing. Contextual conditions (data type, organizational size, and business data sharing setting) determine the level of difficulty in realizing sovereignty facets. For instance, if personal data is shared, privacy becomes a relevant protection facet, leading to challenges of ownership between data providers and data subjects, compliance demands, and control enforcement. Our novel conceptualization paves the way for coherent and comprehensive theory development concerning data sovereignty as a complex, multi-faceted construct. © The Author(s) 2024.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Previous research on Open Government Data (OGD) struggleswith synthesising a holistic perspective of OGD systems. A perspectivethat has dealt with vast, complex systems is public utility. Publicutilities are, for example, water supply networks and electric power grids.This study explores what we can learn from a public utility perspectivewhen perceiving and organising OGD systems. We used a hermeneuticliterature review combined with a snowballing approach, resulting in aselection of 39 studies. We compare public utilities and OGD systems toderive ve lessons: (1) an OGD system can be perceived from a node- owview, (2) the foundational data ow of an OGD system starts at datacollection and ends at data used by the public in an everyday context, (3)the organisation of OGD systems needs to consider the combinability, interpretability,and boundless reusability of data, (4) OGD systems needgovernance organisations that cover the whole system, and (5) OGD systemscould replace existing data provision systems and be made a publicutility if certain characteristic problems are overcome.

Collaborative Aspects of Open Data in Software Engineering
- 2022
-
In: IEEE Software. - : IEEE Computer Society. - 0740-7459 .- 1937-4194. ; 39:1, s. 31-35
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Engineers require high-quality data for the design and implementation of today's software, especially in the context of machine learning (ML). This puts an emphasis on the need for the publication and sharing of data from and between organizations, public as well as private. Following the paradigm of open innovation, open data provide a mechanism to increase the availability of information, offering utility and improving innovation and user choice through the inevitable interoperability this enables.

Benchmarks for evaluating the progress of open data adoption : usage, limitations, and lessons learnt
- 2015
-
In: Social science computer review. - : SAGE Publications. - 0894-4393 .- 1552-8286. ; 33:5, s. 613-630
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Public organizations release their data for use by the public to open the government. Various benchmarks for evaluating the progress of open data adoption have emerged recently. In order to help bring about a better understanding of the common and differentiating elements in open data benchmarks and to identify the methodologies and metrics affecting their variation, this article compares open data benchmarks and describes lessons learned from their analysis. An interpretive meta-analysis approach was used and five benchmarks were compared with regard to metadata (key concepts, themes, and metaphors), meta-methods (methodologies underlying the benchmarks) and metatheories (theoretical assumptions at the foundation of the benchmarks). It was found that each benchmark has its strengths and weaknesses and is applicable in specific situations. Since the open data benchmarks have a different scope and focus and use different methodologies, they produce different results in terms of country ranks. There is an obvious gap in both the literature and benchmarks regarding the evolution of end-user practices and individual adoption of open data. Furthermore, lessons are drawn for the development of more comprehensive open data benchmarks and open government evaluation in general.

Critical Factors for Open Data Publication and Use : A Comparison of City-level, Regional, and Transnational Cases
- 2015
-
In: eJournal of eDemocracy & Open Government. - : Danube-University Krems. - 2075-9517. ; 7:2, s. 94-115
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is a lack of research concerning the factors influencing the success or failure of open data initiatives. Based on the results of two workshops, we provide a list of 47 success factors for open data publication and 18 success factors for open data use. We further use three case studies (ENGAGE, Open NY, and Open Vienna) to examine how the criticality of factors varies depending on the geographical level and other characteristics of the open data initiative. The cases, representing open data initiatives at city, regional and transnational levels, point at different categories of critical success factors. Our key conclusions are that 1) the criticality of the factors depends considerably on the context of the open data initiative; 2) a number of success factors appear to be more universally applicable than others; 3) the factors that are critical to all three cases are derived from many different success factor categories, which suggests that open data initiatives should adopt an interdisciplinary approach, and 4) further work is needed to detail the success factors for open data publication and use in other contexts.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Governmental organizations around the globe step up their efforts to implement open data initiatives as part of their open government commitments. Thereis, however, little systematic evidence, in research and practice, as to what constitutes a “successful” open data initiative. In this workshop, we follow up on our previous work on Critical Success Factors (CSF) for open data. In particular, we aim to establish which of the CSFs that we previously identified apply in which contexts -thus allowing for a more fine-grained and targeted advice to open data practitioners. The workshop participants will be provided with the results from our previous research on factors that influence the success of open data initiatives and can benefit from the structured group discussions on factors that are critical to open data initiatives in a particular context

Comparing open data benchmarks : Which metrics and methodologies determine countries' positions in the ranking lists?
- 2021
-
In: Telematics and informatics. - : Elsevier. - 0736-5853 .- 1879-324X. ; 62
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An understanding of the similar and divergent metrics and methodologies underlying open government data benchmarks can reduce the risks of the potential misinterpretation and misuse of benchmarking outcomes by policymakers, politicians, and researchers. Hence, this study aims to compare the metrics and methodologies used to measure, benchmark, and rank governments' progress in open government data initiatives. Using a critical meta-analysis approach, we compare nine benchmarks with reference to meta-data, meta-methods, and meta-theories. This study finds that both existing open government data benchmarks and academic open data progress models use a great variety of metrics and methodologies, although open data impact is not usually measured. While several benchmarks' methods have changed over time, and variables measured have been adjusted, we did not identify a similar pattern for academic open data progress models. This study contributes to open data research in three ways: 1) it reveals the strengths and weaknesses of existing open government data benchmarks and academic open data progress models; 2) it reveals that the selected open data benchmarks employ relatively similar measures as the theoretical open data progress models; and 3) it provides an updated overview of the different approaches used to measure open government data initiatives' progress. Finally, this study offers two practical contributions: 1) it provides the basis for combining the strengths of benchmarks to create more comprehensive approaches for measuring governments' progress in open data initiatives; and 2) it explains why particular countries are ranked in a certain way. This information is essential for governments and researchers to identify and propose effective measures to improve their open data initiatives.

Improving the speed and ease of open data use through metadata, interaction mechanisms, and quality indicators
- 2016
-
In: Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1091-9392 .- 1532-7744. ; 26:1-2, s. 116-146
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The usage of Open Government Data (OGD) has not kept pace with the expectations as existing OGD infrastructures mainly serve as data repositories. Many OGD infrastructures do not stimulate or support OGD use processes, and there is a lack of research regarding which functionalities can stimulate such processes. The objective of this study is to use a design science approach to evaluate whether metadata, interaction mechanisms and data quality indicators can improve OGD use. OGD use comprises five main activities, namely searching for and finding OGD, OGD analysis, visualizing OGD, interacting about OGD, and OGD quality analysis. We expect that three OGD key infrastructure elements—metadata, interaction mechanisms, and data quality indicators—allow for improving these five OGD use activities. A prototype of an advanced OGD infrastructure was created which implements the three OGD infrastructure elements. Three quasi-experiments with a pre-test post-test control group design were conducted. The quasi-experiments showed that the prototype facilitated the usability of the novel OGD use functionalities. Our quasi-experiments supported our propositions that metadata, interaction mechanisms, and data quality indicators contribute to making OGD use easier and faster, and enhance the user experience. The infrastructure elements improved OGD use by better enabling searching, analysing, visualizing, discussing, giving feedback on and assessing the quality of open data. Hence, we plea for integrating metadata, interaction mechanisms, and data quality indicators in open data infrastructures to advance open data usage.

Open data disclosure and use : critical factors from a case study
- 2015
-
In: CeDEM 2015. - Krems : Edition Donau-Universität Krems. - 9783902505699 ; , s. 197-208
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Little is known about the factors which influence the success or failure of open data initiatives. Based on the results of a workshop, we provide a list of success factors for open data publication and use (64 in total) and discuss their criticality in a particular setting using a case study (the ENGAGE project). The most critical success factors for open data publication and use, in the context of this case study, related to legislation, regulation and licenses. However,the criticality of factors depends considerably on the context of the open data initiative. Our key conclusions are that further work is needed to detail the success factors for open data publication and use in particular contexts, and that a number of success factors, such as those related to sustainability of publication process and user feedback, appear to be more universally applicable than others.
