This book investigates the ways in which these systems can promote
public value by encouraging the disclosure and reuse of
privately-held data in ways that support collective values such as
environmental sustainability. Supported by funding from the
National Science Foundation, the authors' research team has been
working on one such system, designed to enhance consumers ability
to access information about the sustainability of the products that
they buy and the supply chains that produce them. Pulled by rapidly
developing technology and pushed by budget cuts, politicians and
public managers are attempting to find ways to increase the public
value of their actions. Policymakers are increasingly acknowledging
the potential that lies in publicly disclosing more of the data
that they hold, as well as incentivizing individuals and
organizations to access, use, and combine it in new ways. Due to
technological advances which include smarter phones, better ways to
track objects and people as they travel, and more efficient data
processing, it is now possible to build systems which use shared,
transparent data in creative ways. The book adds to the current
conversation among academics and practitioners about how to promote
public value through data disclosure, focusing particularly on the
roles that governments, businesses and non-profit actors can play
in this process, making it of interest to both scholars and
policy-makers.
