“…This movement, as well as the OpenDataLabs, in the intention of the O4C team, will create new institutional frameworks for the production of material goods and services for citizens. Within this perspective, open data can be considered as new commons [14,15].…”

“…In other words, the availability of data is not a sufficient condition for OD to become a resource for innovation and social value. Whoever can gain access to OD should also have the appropriate skills and competencies to use it, understand what kind of perspectives it opens, and what potential uses it represents (Morelli et al, 2017). This way a lot of low and medium or social science-only educated people have been excluded from the equation and the lucrative jobs of data scientists.…”

Current open data systems lag behind in their promised value creation and sustainability. The objective of the current study is twofold: 1) to investigate whether existing open data systems meet the requirements of open data ecosystems, and 2) to develop a research agenda that discusses the gaps between current open data systems on the one hand and participatory, value-creating, sustainable open data ecosystems on the other hand. The literature reveals that the main characteristics of value-creating, sustainable open data ecosystems are user-drivenness, inclusiveness, circularity, and skill-based. Our comparative case study of five open data systems in various application domains and countries highlighted that none of these systems are real open data ecosystems: they often do not balance open data supply and demand, exclude specific user groups and domains, are linear, and lack skill-training. We elaborate on a research agenda that discusses how research should address the challenge of making open data ecosystems more value-generating and sustainable.

“…Bellini et al describe, categorise, and assess the impact of initially funded CAPS projects, which exemplify platforms closely related to commonfare.net [4]. Examples include: Open4Citizens [28], which aims to enable communities to understand and collectively manage open data towards the creation of public services, and PROFIT [17], which provides a resource for raising financial awareness and increasing financial capability of its users. While differing in their domain and scale, such CAPS projects have various commonalities:…”

Online communities that form through the introduction of sociotechnical platforms require significant effort to cultivate and sustain. Providing open, transparent information on community behaviour can motivate participation from community members themselves, while also providing platform administrators with detailed interaction dynamics. However, challenges arise in both understanding what information is conducive to engagement and sustainability, and then how best to represent this information to platform stakeholders. Towards a better understanding of these challenges, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of a set of simple visualisations integrated into a Collective Awareness Platform for Social Innovation platform titled commonfare.net. We discuss the promise and challenge of bringing social innovation into the digital age, in terms of supporting sustained platform use and collective action, and how the introduction of community visualisations has been directed towards achieving this goal.
