The Social Dynamics of Open Data brings together research presented at the second Open Data Research Symposium in Madrid. The collection asks how publicly accessible data becomes useful, what shapes its effects and which conditions help particular initiatives achieve their aims.
The chapters draw on social-scientific theories and empirical research to examine the relationships between data, institutions and communities. Their shared interest is the difference between making information available and creating the circumstances in which people can use it. Readers encounter research approaches intended to build a more detailed evidence base for understanding open-data projects.
