Description

Symposium:
The purpose of this symposium is to bring together scholars to discuss governance models and design of data ecosystems in a decentered way from different societal and scholarly perspectives. We will focus on the specific opportunities and challenges involved in data governance in the absence of a solo (or dominant) owner of a data ecosystem exercising power by prioritizing its own interests over other actors through proprietary technological architecture, and threatening social welfare. However, the complexity of organizing an array of heterogeneous actors with a variety of expectations and motives threatens the sustainability of ecosystems. This symposium aims at providing a deeper understanding of design and governance tradeoffs in developing decentered data ecosystems from strategic, organizational, innovation, infrastructural, ethical and regulatory perspectives. Building on presented papers, this symposium serves as a platform to discuss decentered bottom-up data governance challenges and issues.
