Assessing the Legitimacy of “Open” and “Closed” Data Partnerships for Sustainable Development
构建了一个评估框架，用于分析可持续发展背景下开放与封闭两类数据伙伴关系的民主合法性，并探讨其输入与输出合法性的关键特征。
This article examines the legitimacy attached to different types of multi-stakeholder data partnerships occurring in the context of sustainable development. We develop a framework to assess the democratic legitimacy of two types of data partnerships: open data partnerships (where data and insights are mainly freely available) and closed data partnerships (where data and insights are mainly shared within a network of organizations). Our framework specifies criteria for assessing the legitimacy of relevant partnerships with regard to their input legitimacy as well as their output legitimacy. We demonstrate which particular characteristics of open and closed partnerships can be expected to influence an analysis of their input and output legitimacy.
