“…There is an assumption that the users' involvement ensures identification and capture of their unmet requirements. When users, and other stakeholders, are involved in SDI development, they feel empowered to express their requirements (Craglia and Annoni 2007) and their divergent technological frames get converted into a shared understanding (Puri 2006). The call for this participatory discourse is similar to the shift from system-centered to user-centered approach to information service design in the 1980s (Dervin and Nilan 1986;Wilson 1994Wilson , 2000.…”

“…If geospatial objects have been captured and represented in databases using the supplier's priorities and perceptions, the disparity between the supplier and the user continues even with services generated from these objects. Puri (2006) finds widespread perceptual differences among different SDI stakeholders-including suppliers and users-of the Indian NSDI.…”

Reconceptualizing the role of the user of spatial data infrastructure

Spatial data infrastructures, which are Internet-based mechanisms for the coordinated production, discovery, and use of geospatial information in the digital environment, have diffused worldwide in the last two decades. Currently, there are about one hundred spatial data infrastructures at the national level and many other at supra-and sub-national levels. These contemporary spatial data infrastructures operate with two main assumptions: formal organizations are the producers and suppliers of geospatial information; users are the passive recipients of information. The recent phenomenon of volunteered geographic information departs from these assumptions. In this paper, we argue that reconceptualizing the user of a spatial data infrastructure can accommodate this new phenomenon. Such a reconceptualization creates a middle ground between spatial data infrastructure and volunteered geographic information, which has important implications for future research.

“…They also included studies of benefits, barriers, success factors, risk assessment and applicable results; and to a lesser degree, they were concerned with government recommendations, roles and policies, improving implementation, and sustainability. For example, Bhatnagar and Singh (2009) reported results on the impact of e-government projects in India by measuring and comparing ratings for computerized vs. manual systems and Puri (2006) made the case for how design and implementation could be improved for India's National Spatial Data Infrastructure.…”

We report the results of a content analysis of 948 papers from selected peer reviewed journals and conferences published between 2000 and 2010 in the academic literature on the interdisciplinary field of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). Results indicate that the field has grown and matured dramatically since its early days, and traces some of the most salient shifts over time and across journals and conferences. Results indicate that the majority of the literature focuses on business and empowerment as the primary domains of ICTD work, and on ICT in general and on information systems as the most common technology objects of analysis, with a growing trend toward mobile phones. The dominant types of research questions are of descriptive, or of measurement or social change in nature, while the preferred paradigmatic stances overall are interpretivist, positivist and pragmatic. The preferred research methods are qualitative, mixed methods and quantitative. There is a predominance of technological approaches to ICTD rather than social ones, and the most frequent types of recommendations are related to more ICT infrastructure. Furthermore, most of the literature consists of studies of individual countries or of organizations, and the most frequent contributions are field studies and best practices, with a growing trend towards contributing theory and policy recommendations. This is the first‐ever comprehensive analysis of the ICTD literature across multiple sources over ten years; it offers important insights about the trends and directions of research in the ICTD field.

The purpose of this article is to identify and explain the barriers that prevented the case study organization, an Australasian university, from implementing a groupware package. This is an insider action research case study, using qualitative semistructured interviews, group and individual training to look at users' technological frames around the implementation and use of a groupware product. Technological frames were used to enable a systematic examination of the assumptions, expectations, and knowledge of technology; in particular, the use of technological frames reveals aspects of user resistance. While addressing criticisms of the technological frames genre, this study uses technological frames as a lens to examine the underlying drivers and impediments to information systems (IS) implementation. In this case study, changes to a groupware product failed to be implemented, not because of user resistance to the product, but because of organizational politics. This study demonstrates how the culture of an organization may stifle the implementation of IS.
