“Across time, the world has gone through many revolutions, but the information revolution fueled by open data and network effects is the largest shift in power. This fundamental shift in power from 'the high priests’ to the people will give birth to new industries, topple governments and transform the world as we know it.”
- Mr. Vivek Kundra, HICSS-45 Keynote Speaker
Opening of government and private data will transform the way we produce, aggregate and consume data in ways yet unimaginable. As the available data stack grows, we can see the proliferation of innovative new services on many areas (e.g. traffic, news etc.) based on two key trends: the opening of the vast data resources collected by authorities and different governmental units, and the increasing availability of new open sensor data (for example, from mobile devices).
Until recently, this movement has been the domain of computer science and key issues have focused on technical availability and data format standards that enable linking the data. Now, we are moving into an era of consuming that data that is creating novel opportunities and challenges for the creation of new services. This calls for research from various disciplines, including at least information systems science, service science, and marketing to better understand these opportunities and challenges.
We especially encourage submissions of papers describing innovative services created by employing open data. We seek research papers, case studies, and practitioner reports related to the publication of the open data sets followed by new service development and their implications. Of special interest are novel applications of available open data in various domains, such as, preventive healthcare, traffic, media, and travel, to name a few. Furthermore, we are interested in “hybrid models” and aggregation usage of both open and proprietary data sets in unison to develop new services.
We welcome studies employing either qualitative or quantitative research methods, as well as design research.
Relevant topics for this minitrack include (but are not limited to):
• Services consuming open data
• Location and sensor data based services
• Peer production of data
• Privacy issues related to open data and open data services
• Aggregation of open and proprietary data
• Developer community-driven open data service development
• Business value of open data services
• Business model destruction/creation caused by open data
• Open data service ecosystems
• Novel approaches to development of open data applications
