Situating Open Data examines how the use of publicly available information changes with local institutions, infrastructure and social relationships. The editors bring together empirical studies of open-data practices and the implementation of international initiatives in different national and community settings.
The chapters follow the people and organizations involved in turning data into usable resources. They connect technical arrangements with questions about participation, knowledge and the circumstances in which information becomes valuable. The collection asks readers to consider how initiatives work in practice, rather than assuming that the publication of data alone determines its effects.
