Summary:
"Open data and its effects on society are always woven into infrastructural legacies, social relations, and the political economy.
This raises questions about how our understanding and engagement with open data shifts when we focus on its situated use. The new book Situating Open Data: Global Trends in Local Contexts sheds light on these questions, providing empirical studies of open data practices, their local implementation, and the development of open data ecosystems.
Join us for the book launch, where editors and authors (listed below) will present their insights through lightning talks, and discuss the findings with the audience!
The book can be accessed online (open access, PDF) or ordered in print here and here...."
