The Generations of Digital governance : From Paper to RobotsYannis Charalabidis
Digital or Electronic Governance relates to the utilisation of Information and Communication Technologies for achieving better digital services to citizens, enhance transparency and collaboration, and promote evidence-based decision making in the public sector. Along these directions, the talk presents the methods, the tools and the solutions that structure the main generations of Digital Governance. Starting from the introduction of computers in the public sector and reaching the emerging applications of artificial intelligence and other exponential technologies, the talk covers the benefits and the challenges for decision makers, from a technical and administrative viewpoint.
ESWC SS 2013 - Wednesday Keynote Kieron O'hara: The Information Springeswcsummerschool
This document discusses the potential of semantic e-government and linked open data to transform how governments operate and engage with citizens. It outlines several stages in this process, from initial projects using semantic technologies to link government data, to giving citizens access and control over their own personal data. If fully realized, this could decentralize public services, increase transparency, and empower citizens by leveraging their competence and ability to solve problems through open data and technologies like linked data. However, challenges remain around data discovery, alignment of standards, interfaces, quality assurance, and privacy protections.
Development as Freedom in a Digital Age Soren Gigler
This presentation summarized the main findings of the recent publication Development as Freedom in a Digital Age. It provides an overview( i) the alternative impact evaluation framework of information and communications technologies on development based on Amartya Sen's capability approach and (ii) presents empirical evidence from rural Bolivia on the conditions under which ICTs can reduce poverty and empower local communities. The book addresses the following main issues (i) what is the impact of ICTs on the well-being of poor communities? (ii) how to evaluate the impact of ICTs on development from a human development perspective? (iii) which factors influence the successful implementation of ICT programs?
Artificial intelligence governance in the Obama & Trump yearsAdam Thierer
This document discusses U.S. governance approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) during the Obama and Trump administrations. Both administrations adopted a light-touch regulatory stance and emphasized public-private partnerships to support AI innovation. While their overall visions were similar, the Trump administration placed more emphasis on removing regulatory barriers and focused federal funding on specific technologies like AI and quantum computing. However, the future of AI governance is uncertain as other countries and regions pursue more aggressive industrial policies and regulation could expand in the U.S. as well.

Samos 2020 Summit - Digital Governance Overviewsamossummit
This document provides an overview of digital governance and the types of information systems used in government. It discusses traditional electronic government systems that automate internal operations and citizen transactions, as well as emerging systems that use new technologies to transform policymaking and decision making. The document outlines the evolution of e-government into three generations - from automating transactions to facilitating citizen participation to using analytics and AI to support policy formulation. The goal is to give context to different information system examples that will be presented and how they fit within the broader domain of digital governance.
The Digital Divides or the third industrial revolution: concepts and figuresIsmael Peña-López
It is usual to think about the digital divide as a very concrete aspect of the impact of ICTs, mainly concerning whether there is an existence of infrastructures (sometimes computers, sometimes computers connected to the Internet).
It is usual to think about digital literacy as the ability of someone to switch on a computer and playing some cards game, sending an e-mail and, optimistically, run some word processor and type in a love letter.
It is usual to think about ICTs as something that won’t make disappear the hunger in the world or heal the thousands of people suffering from countless diseases, specially in places where citizens live with less than one dollar a day.
It is usual to think about the digital divide as something that does not affect me, as I live on the sunny side of the world, in a developed country that will last this way for centuries.
With the aim to dismantle all these (almost) false assumptions, the seminar will try and give "correct" definitions for concepts such as Digital Divide, Digital Literacy, eReadiness or eAwareness and show examples on how ICTs can help underdeveloped and developing countries to reach higher quotas of welfare… and how so-called developed countries can exchange places with the lesser developed ones in case they do not pay attention to what is happening in a global world.

e-Democracy Conference 2011 presentation titled 'Citizen techology and Open Government' by Jared Ford, NDI Program Manager on the ICT team | Twitter: @jdeepford
Yannis Charalabidis gave a presentation on AI in governance. He discussed how AI is being used in various areas of public administration like service provision, back office processes, and policy design. He believes AI will have an enormous learning potential and impact areas like developing digital twins of cities, simulations to help with policy design and democracy, and developing truly smart city applications and agents. However, he notes that universal algorithms for complex societal simulations do not yet exist and more basic research is needed in areas like developing generic public sector agents and understanding systems.
Open data and open government can foster more transparent and engaged interactions between governments and citizens when both have equal access to information. Some key benefits include increased civic engagement, economic opportunities from data reuse and innovation, and more participatory governance. However, governments often resist open data due to concerns about costs, privacy, and losing control over data. For data to have value, it needs to be widely available in open and machine-readable formats along with guidelines for appropriate use. When combined with civic participation, open data can power applications that create social and economic benefits.
This document discusses the evolution of citizen technology and open government. It outlines how goals include promoting efficient, open, and accountable government as well as strengthening democratic institutions and citizen engagement. It describes how social media has democratized information sharing and allowed citizens to organize and influence power dynamics. Examples like the Arab Spring show how social media helped spread ideas. The document also discusses tools for political process monitoring, election oversight, and participatory budgeting. It argues that open government data becomes better through public input and that citizen technologies ensure a vibrant online and offline public sphere by allowing governments to communicate widely and reduce costs. Recommendations include structuring government documents with semantic markup, providing multiple access forms, using single-point portals and cloud

Samos Summit Digital Europe 2040 [g.misuraca]samossummit
This document summarizes a presentation on shaping digital Europe 2040 given at the 10th Samos Summit on ICT-enabled governance. The presentation discusses envisioning the future of digital government through scenarios, explores how artificial intelligence is impacting governance, and identifies open issues and policy implications. Key topics included mapping AI use in public services in the EU, challenges in moving from data analysis to adoption, and two dimensions to consider in scenarios for digital governance: regulation of the digital landscape and data protection.
This document outlines a roadmap for research in electronic governance over the next decade. It identifies four grand challenges: 1) Model-based collaborative governance to improve policy modeling and simulation; 2) Data-powered collective intelligence and action to leverage real-time open data; 3) Establishing a government service utility to provide ubiquitous, standardized public services; and 4) Developing a science base for ICT-enabled governance to systematize the field. For each challenge, it discusses short and long-term research directions to address gaps between current governance and a rapidly changing digital society. The overall goal is to transform policy-making using collaborative models, robust data analysis, and innovative digital service delivery.
The document summarizes the 10-year history of the Samos Summit on ICT-Enabled Governance, held annually on the Greek island of Samos. It began in 2010 with a workshop organized by 5 people exploring topics like model-driven governance. Over the years it has grown to include 300 speakers and 500 participants discussing emerging issues in digital governance like open data, social media, crowdsourcing, and blockchain. The 2020 summit, held online due to COVID-19, features sessions on the future of digital public services, disruptive technologies, digital governance science, and legal informatics systems.
ICT Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries: Challenges and BeyondFaheem Hussain
Dr. Faheem Hussain presented on ICT entrepreneurship in developing countries. He discussed how ICT entrepreneurs utilize digital tools to ensure participation, return on investment, and expand access. However, developing countries face many challenges, including outdated policies, lack of intellectual property protection, and inefficient financial systems. Opportunities exist through collaborative approaches between government, private sector, and entrepreneurs to develop infrastructure, inclusive services, and support mechanisms.

Governing algorithms – perils and powers of ai in the public sector1(1)PanagiotisKeramidis
This document summarizes a presentation on governing algorithms and AI in the public sector. It discusses:
1. The emerging benefits and risks of using AI in the public sector, such as improving services but also risks of discrimination and lack of transparency.
2. The challenges of governing AI in three ways: governance "of" AI by introducing it properly, "with" AI by ensuring humans remain in control, and "by" AI by addressing risks if humans fully rely on AI decisions.
3. Lessons learned about avoiding potential dystopian outcomes by adopting a public value perspective, handling disruption, and designing new governance models for AI-enabled services.
The document discusses delivering secure and public-oriented e-government facilities in Africa from a holistic perspective.

Internet Governance beyond Institutions? Rethinking Rule-Making in the DigitalChristian Katzenbach
This document summarizes a lecture on internet governance and rule-making. It discusses how definitions of internet governance have evolved from a focus on policy organizations and steering to recognize decentralized and heterogeneous governance arrangements. Governance is examined through different disciplinary lenses and as a process of coordination rather than just regulation. New perspectives are needed that consider informal norms, discourses and framings, and how technologies structure communication and regulation. Internet governance involves coordination among many actors through diverse rules and mechanisms beyond just institutions.
Tracey P. Lauriault discusses open data and technological citizenship. She makes three key points:
1) Data are not objective or politically neutral, but are inseparable from the ideas, technologies, and contexts that produce them.
2) Technological citizenship involves engaging with data and technology as a form of political participation and action.
3) Various definitions and principles of open data have emerged over time from organizations aiming to make data accessible and shareable.
Canada is a data and technological society. There is no sector that is uninformed by data or unmediated by code, algorithms, software and infrastructure. Consider the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, and precision agriculture; or smart fisheries, forestry, and energy and of course governing. In a data based and technological society, leadership is the responsibility of all citizens, a parent, teacher, scholar, administrator, public servant, nurse and doctor, mayor and councillor, fisher, builder, business person, industrialist, MP, MLA, PM, and so on. In other words leadership is distributed and requires people power. This form of citizenship, according to Andrew Feenberg, Canada Research Chair in Philosophy of Technology, requires agency, knowledge and the capacity to act or power. In this GovMaker Keynote I will introduce the concept of technological citizenship, I will discuss what principled public interest governing might look like, and how we might go about critically applying philosophy in our daily practice. In terms of practice I will discuss innovative policy and regulation such as the right to repair movement, EU legislation such as the right to explanation, data subjects and the right to access and also data sovereignty from a globalization and an indigenous perspective.

Are you interested in finding out how your organisation can comply with the new European Commission Directive on Open Data and the Re-use of Public Sector Information (also known as the ‘Open Data Directive’)? The Open Data Directive entered into force on 16 July 2019 and will transposed into National Law in July 2021.
https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/open-data
In this presentation, we look at how an organisation can get started with Open Data publishing, including what data do we manage, which data should we publish as Open Data, or how can we make data available as Open Data?

Are We Measuring the Right Things? From Disclosing Datasets to! Reshaping Da...Jonathan Gray
The document discusses reshaping data infrastructures and the implications for open data initiatives and advocacy. It notes that for beneficial ownership advocacy in the UK, disclosure of existing datasets was not enough, and civil society organizations had to undertake sustained engagement to influence development of data infrastructure systems. This included research on costs, functionality and legislation around public registries of beneficial ownership. It highlights how campaigners must look beyond released information to how information is collected and generated through infrastructure. The document also discusses implications for measuring the right things and new forms of "statactivism" to shape what and how things are measured through infrastructure.
Open Science policies can help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals through open data practices. Key elements of an effective open science policy include open access, open research, and open data policies. It also requires addressing issues of data justice, developing fair and interoperable data standards, and implementing policies that maximize the reuse and public impact of research data. Effective policies also engage stakeholders, advocate for open research, and link funding policies to open science goals. Surveys show more work is needed as most institutions still lack clear open data and open research data guidelines.

A genealogy of open data assemblages
Abstract: Evidence informed decision making, participatory public policy, government transparency and accountability, sustainable development, and data driven journalism were the initial drivers of making public data accessible. The access work of geomaticians, researchers, librarians, community developers and journalists has recently been recast as open data that includes a different set of actors. As open data matures as a practice, its principles, definitions and guidelines have been transformed into national performance indicators such as indexes, barometers, ratings and score cards; the private sector such as Gartner, McKinsey, and Deloitte are touting open data's innovation and business opportunities; while smart city initiatives offer tools and expertise to help government sense, monitor, measure and evaluate their cities. Open data today seems to have evolved far from its original ideals, even with civil society players such as Markets for Good, Sunlight Foundation, Open Knowledge Foundation, Code for America, and many others advocating for more social approaches. This talk proposes an assemblage approach to understanding open data and provides a genealogy of its development in different contexts and places.

Open Research Gateway for the ELIXIR-GR Infrastructure (Part 1)OpenAIRE
The Research Data Alliance (RDA) is an international organization focused on data sharing across disciplines. It has over 8,600 members from 137 countries working to reduce barriers to data sharing through developing infrastructure and community activities. RDA has numerous active interest groups and working groups focused on issues like specific scientific domains, data reference and sharing, community needs, data stewardship, and basic infrastructure. One recent focus is guidelines for data sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This document summarizes Simon Hodson's presentation on open science and FAIR data developments globally. Some key points:
1) There is a growing policy push for open research data, with funders and organizations adopting data sharing policies based on FAIR data principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability.
2) Initiatives are working to build the international ecosystem of open science, including components for reporting research outputs, persistent identifiers, data standards, data repositories, and criteria for trustworthy data.
3) The African Open Science Platform aims to lay the foundations for open science in Africa through frameworks for policy, incentives, training, and technical infrastructure development.

From Data Policy Towards FAIR Data For All: How standardised data policies ca...Rebecca Grant
There is evidence that good data practice leads to increased citation, increased reproducibility, increased productivity, reduced harm and costs of biased or non-transparent research, and that it helps researchers with career progression and provides a better return on investment in research funding. In this presentation we will share feedback on data sharing from a survey of more than 11,000 researchers globally, as well as evidence from our own implementation of standardised data policies and the work of the Research Data Alliance’s Data Policy Implementation Interest Group.
This document summarizes a presentation about supporting scientific research for sustainable development goals in Africa. It discusses the 17 UN sustainable development goals adopted in 2015, including ending poverty and tackling climate change by 2030. Monitoring and leveraging open data partnerships are critical to achieving these goals. However, more high-quality, standardized, and accessible data is still needed, especially regarding underrepresented groups. The presentation calls for increased leadership, coordination, and investment in scientific research capacity and open data policies in Africa to help meet development goals.
Third lesson of a course on "Open Data and Linked Open Data" for Master in "ICT for Cultural Heritage" of the Technological District for Cultural Heritage (DATABENC).
This document summarizes key findings from surveys about researchers' data sharing practices and attitudes. It finds that while most researchers agree data should be shared, only a small percentage actually make their data openly available. Researchers typically share data through email, cloud services, or external drives rather than repositories. The document also discusses increasing emphasis on open and FAIR data in research funder policies, but notes researchers face barriers to compliance like unclear terminology, lack of skills and incentives, and confusion between open data and managed/FAIR data. It argues for engagement programs to help researchers better understand and participate in open scholarship.

Abstract:
In a technological society such as Canada, it is suggested that a specialized kind of expert citizenship is needed (Andrew Feenberg). In the era of big data, others suggest that there is a need to learn how to read algorithms and to study its high priests and alchemists (Genevieve Bell). While, doing citizenship requires a political ethics of technology to thwart technological and quantitative fundamentalism (Darin Barney). Finally, in the midst of a data revolution we need to critically re-conceptualize data (Rob Kitchin). Quite simply, in today's Canada doing citizenship requires data literacy, technical, philosophical and political. Access to print media - books, government documents, academic journals - in libraries and archives enabled a literate society, the prerequisite of a democratic system. I argue that good governance in knowledge producing institutions, is to have technological experts, both data creators and preservers, working to store, manage, disseminate and preserve data so that we have the requisite artifacts to increase our literacy and build upon collected knowledge. Data literacy I suggest, is indispensable in the current democratic system, and that requires having access to data, data infrastructures - knowledge and technology - and dedicated skilled people and resources to sustainably care for them. I consider research data management to be our duty.
A call to librarians to use their library powers in the community beyond the walls of their institutions as the open data folks need their knowledge!
Title:
Open Sesame: Open Data, Data Liberation and New Opportunities for Libraries
Abstract:
Cities and data producers are quickly embracing Open Data, albeit unevenly. The Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) has been a pioneer in broadening access to data for nearly two decades. This session will examine the relevance of Data Liberation in terms of Open Data and explore how librarians can step up to the plate to make Open Data/Open Government as successful as DLI.

Week 13 (Apr. 8) – Assemblages, Genealogies and Dynamic Nominalism
Course description:
The emphasis is to learn to envision data genealogically, as a social and technical assemblages, as infrastructure and reframe them beyond technological conceptions. During the term we will explore data, facts and truth; the power of data both big and small; governmentality and biopolitics; risk, probability and the taming of chance; algorithmic culture, dynamic nominalism, categorization and ontologies; the translation of people, space and social phenomena into and by data and software and the role of data in the production of knowledge.
This class format is a graduate MA seminar and a collaborative workshop. We will work with Ottawa Police Services and critically examine the socio-technological data assemblage of that institution. This includes a fieldtrip to the Elgin street station; a tour of the 911 Communication Centre and we will meet with data experts.

From Aspiration to Reality: Open Smart Cities
Open smart cities might become a reality for Canada. Globally there are a number of initiatives, programs, and practices that are open smart city like which means that it is possible to have an open, responsive and engaged city that is both socio-technologically enabled, but also one where there is receptivity to and a willingness to grow a critically informed type of technological citizenship (Feenberg). For an open smart city to exist, public officials, the private sector, scholars, civil society and residents and citizens require a definition and a guide to start the exercise of imagining what an open smart city might look like. There is much critical scholarship about the smart city and there are many counter smart city narratives, but there are few depictions of what engagement, participatory design and technological leadership might be. The few examples that do exist are project based and few are systemic. An open smart city definition and guide was therefore created by a group of stakeholders in such a way that it can be used as the basis for the design of an open smart city from the ground up, or to help actors shape or steer the course of emerging or ongoing data and networked urbanist forms (Kitchin) of smart cities to lead them towards being open, engaged and receptive to technological citizenship.
This talk will discuss some of the successes resulting from this Open Smart Cities work, which might also be called a form or engaged scholarship. For example the language for the call for tender of the Infrastructure Canada Smart City Challenge was modified to include as a requisite that engagement and openness be part of the submissions from communities. Also, those involved with the guide have been writing policy articles that critique either AI or the smart city while also offering examples of what is possible. These articles are being read by proponents of Sidewalk Labs in Toronto. Also, the global Open Data Conference held in Argentina in September of 2018 hosted a full workshop on Open Smart Cities and finally Open North is working toward developing key performance indicators to assess those shortlisted by Infrastructure Canada and to help those communities develop an Open Smart Cities submission. The objective of the talk is to demonstrate that it is actually possible to shift public policy on large infrastructure projects, at least, in the short term.
This week we will learn about user generated content (UGC), citizen science, crowdsourcing & volunteered geographic information (VGI). We will also discuss divergent views on data humanitarianism.
Cottbus Brandenburg University of Technology Lecture series on Smart RegionsCritically Assembling Data, Processes & Things: Toward and Open Smart CityJune 5, 2018
This lecture will critically focus on smart cities from a data based socio-technological assemblage approach. It is a theoretical and methodological framework that allows for an empirical examination of how smart cities are socially and technically constructed, and to study them as discursive regimes and as a large technological infrastructural systems.
The lecture will refer to the research outcomes of the ERC funded Programmable City Project led by Rob Kitchin at Maynooth University and will feature examples of empirical research conducted in Dublin and other Irish cities.
In addition, the lecture will discuss the research outcomes of the Canadian Open Smart Cities project funded by the Government of Canada GeoConnections Program. Examples will be drawn from five case studies namely about the cities of Edmonton, Guelph, Ottawa and Montreal, and the Ontario Smart Grid as well as number of international best practices. The recent Infrastructure Canada Canadian Smart City Challenge and the controversial Sidewalk Lab Waterfront Toronto project will also be discussed.
It will be argued that no two smart cities are alike although the technological solutionist and networked urbanist approaches dominate and it is suggested that these kind of smart cities may not live up to the promise of being better places to live.
In this lecture, the ideals of an Open Smart City are offered instead and in this kind of city residents, civil society, academics, and the private sector collaborate with public officials to mobilize data and technologies when warranted in an ethical, accountable and transparent way in order to govern the city as a fair, viable and livable commons that balances economic development, social progress and environmental responsibility. Although an Open Smart City does not yet exist, it will be argued that it is possible.
Presentation #2:Open/Big Urban DataLessons Learned from the Programmable City ProjectMansion House, Dublin, May 9th, 201810am-2pmhttp://progcity.maynoothuniversity.ie/2018/03/lessons-for-smart-cities-from-the-programmable-city-project/
The document provides an overview of the Open Smart Cities in Canada Project. It discusses the goals of the project, which are to better understand smart city initiatives across Canada and provide guidance on open smart cities. The project is led by OpenNorth and involves researchers from Carleton University, the University of Toronto, and legal experts. As part of the project, the team interviewed officials from Edmonton, Guelph, Ottawa, and Montreal about their smart city visions, strategies, and challenges. They also examined international best practices and developed a definition and principles for open smart cities. The document outlines the definition as well as five themes of open smart cities: governance, engagement, data and technology, data governance, and procurement.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Rationale
• Official COVID-19 public health data are inconsistently reported, impeding
comparability, and the ability to assess impact and target actions.
• Data to inform the inequities experienced by Indigenous & racialized
groups are inadequate as are data about people with disabilities, gender
beyond the binary and some classes of labour
• Lack of framework and foundational datasets upon which analysis can be
made – data infrastructure
• There is a lack of standards & protocols in reporting impeding
interoperability
• Need to rapidly report observations and critical data research to advance
and frame public policy about the response

7. http://doi.org/10.22215/CURRRG/2020.TracingCOVID19data
Theoretical Framework
The project is theoretically informed by:
1. Critical Data Studies
• Data have social and material shaping qualities and they are
never politically neutral
• Data are inseparable from the people and institutions who
create & own them nor from the practices, techniques, and
infrastructures of their life-cycle
• Data are viewed as a social and technological assemblage
2. Data & Technological Citizenship
• Data & their technologies are political, and actors beyond
government ought to actively be part of the deliberations of
how data are created, managed and used
3. Rights-based approach to the management of data &
technologies
• A pandemic is a crisis, but this does not mean that rights ought
to be waved in the name of efficiency, expediency and
technological solutionism
