This document discusses open data policies for citizen science and scientists as citizens. It addresses how open data allows non-scientists to contribute to scientific processes through citizen science and helps scientists be more cognizant of their work's impact on society. The document also examines the role of open data and mass collaboration projects, and considers important policy aspects like licensing, governance, and promoting the public good.

The changing media-landscape and web 2.0 in that perspective. Civil Society Media are introduced, groups and organizations who exist next to state-owned and commercial media. Some lessons for government how to deal with these developments are given.

DEcentralised Citizens Owned (DECODE): Data sovereignty for citizensFrancesca Bria
Presentation of the DECODE project (www.decodeproject.eu) by Francesca Bria, DECODE Project Coordinator. DECODE provides tools that put individuals in control of whether they keep their personal data private or share it for the public good.
In August 2013, a multidisciplinary group gathered at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center to address the theme of “Community Resilience Through big data and Technology.” Creative and critical thinkers were selected from the technology sector, academia, the arts, humanitarian and ecological spheres. Over ten days, we explored how data could be used to help build community resilience in the face of a range of stresses — environmental, political, social and economic. Large data collection and analysis may support communities by providing them with timely feedback loops on their immediate environment. However, the collection and use of data can also create new vulnerabilities and risks, by enabling discriminating against individuals, skewing evidence, and creating dependencies on centralized infrastructure that may increase a system’s vulnerability. After analyzing these risks and opportunities, we developed a framework to help guide the effective use of data for building community-driven resilience. In this framework, we propose six domains: ethics, governance, science, technology, place and sociocultural context. We believe that by considering all six domains together, organizations can safeguard against predictable failures by exposing project weaknesses from the outset rather than in hindsight.

Challenges, Opportunities and Risks for a Smart Future VISITOR First
We live in times that are as exciting as unsure at once. For many it is the most stunning and promising era in human society and for others it is a scary derangement of the old world. To find a path which leads us into a great future we created a comprehensive study to get insights about possible ways and hypotheses.
MLOVE and VISITOR FIRST plan to expand their initial scoping research on the relations between people and future technologies of Mobility, Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities. It considers important questions such as the consequences of bringing cutting edge technology into everyday life and the hopes, visions and fears tied to this process. The social frameworks that produce these technologies will also be analyzed.
MLOVE is a global community that brings together CEOs, CMOs, innovators and startup entrepreneurs from across multiple disciplines to share, learn and inspire ideas with an array of scientists, artists and other pioneers.
In VISITOR FIRST, MLOVE found a partner with several years of experience in the field of ethnographic research and holistic research designs within a business context.

Open data policy for scientists as citizens and for citizen science
1. open data policy for
scientists as citizens and
for citizen science

4. “citizen science”
contributions to scientific processes
outside of instutional context and/or
by non-scientists?
“scientists as citizens”
scientists [including citizen
scientists?] cognizant of the role of
their work for society?
4
5. high priests used to be looked upon for
“truth” … but they controlled it tightly
scientists are looked upon to work
towards truth … and their work is
always shared freely and open to
scrutiny
at least we have the right ideal now ☺
5
11. restrictions & permissions
try to be Open; use terms other
projects do; if you have to think, public
domain for max donor, copyleft [look
again at nearby projects] for max
recipient, but also possibly be bold,
assume facts are free...
11
12. “IP” never the ideal answer
poor substitute for other regulation...
12
19. consider key ~policy choices (so far)
made by a couple of aforementioned
projects
19
20. at what level should “policy” be
considered (depends...)
international
jurisdiciton
institutional
standards
project
individual contributor
20
21. some things to desire (~ends) from
mass collaboration projects (thus to
consider in “policy”)
curation
provenance
data improvement, normalization
...
innovation/disruption/not imagined
uses
orientation toward public good...
21
22. at least 3 methods of promoting and
protecting commons
law&policy
building
extralegal
each has reactionary and progressive
aspects
22
23. building
free knowledge & software invalidates
assumptions of, mitigates, and builds
constituency against bad policy
each contribution to a commons is a
strike against bad policy and dystopian
future; that’s something to celebrate
and proclaim!
23
24. imagine a world in which Wikipedia is
not unusual:
where mass collaboration obtains...
disruptive innovation
superior “product”
greater equality
greater freedom
...in all of the most crucial human
enterprises
