Abstract

Abstract The exponential growth of data collection opens possibilities for analyzing data to address political and societal challenges. Still, European cities are not utilizing the potential of data generated by its citizens, industries, academia, and public authorities for their public service mission. The reasons are complex and relate to an intertwined set of organizational, technological, and legal barriers, although good practices exist that could be scaled, sustained, and further developed. The article contributes to research on data-driven innovation in the public sector comparing high-level expectations on data ecosystems with actual practices of data sharing and innovation at the local and regional level. Our approach consists in triangulating the analysis of in-depth interviews with representatives of the local administrations with documents obtained from the cities. The interviews investigated the experiences and perspectives of local administrations regarding establishing a local or regional data ecosystem. The article examines experiences and obstacles to data sharing within seven administrations investigating what currently prevents the establishment of data ecosystems. The findings are summarized along three main lines. First, the limited involvement of private sector organizations as actors in local data ecosystems through emerging forms of data sharing. Second, the concern over technological aspects and the lack of attention on social or organizational issues. Third, a conceptual decision to apply a centralized and not a federated digital infrastructure.

理论与实践之间的城市数据生态系统:对七个欧洲城市的定性探索研究
数据收集的指数增长为分析数据以应对政治和社会挑战提供了可能性。尽管如此,欧洲城市并没有利用其公民、工业、学术界和公共当局产生的数据潜力来履行其公共服务使命。原因是复杂的,并且与组织、技术和法律障碍交织在一起,尽管存在可以扩展、持续和进一步开发的良好实践。本文对公共部门数据驱动创新的研究做出了贡献,将对数据生态系统的高水平期望与地方和区域层面的数据共享和创新的实际实践进行了比较。我们的方法是用从城市获得的文件对与地方行政部门代表的深入访谈进行三角分析。访谈调查了地方行政当局在建立地方或区域数据生态系统方面的经验和观点。本文考察了七个行政部门在数据共享方面的经验和障碍,调查了目前阻碍数据生态系统建立的因素。研究结果总结为三条主线。首先,通过新兴的数据共享形式,私营部门组织作为行动者参与地方数据生态系统的程度有限。第二,对技术方面的关注和对社会或组织问题的缺乏关注。第三,一个概念性的决定,即应用集中式而非联邦式的数字基础设施。
