This book investigates the ways in

which these systems can promote public value by encouraging the disclosure and

reuse of privately-held data in ways that support collective values such as

environmental sustainability. Supported by funding from the National Science

Foundation, the authors' research team has been working on one such system,

designed to enhance consumers ability to access information about the

sustainability of the products that they buy and the supply chains that produce

them. Pulled by rapidly developing technology and pushed by budget cuts,

politicians and public managers are attempting to find ways to increase the

public value of their actions. Policymakers are increasingly acknowledging the

potential that lies in publicly disclosing more of the data that they hold, as

well as incentivizing individuals and organizations to access, use, and combine

it in new ways. Due to technological advances which include smarter

phones, better ways to track objects and people as they travel, and more

efficient data processing, it is now possible to build systems which use

shared, transparent data in creative ways. The book adds to the

current conversation among academics and practitioners about how to promote

public value through data disclosure, focusing particularly on the roles that

governments, businesses and non-profit actors can play in this process, making

it of interest to both scholars and policy-makers.
