Semantic web, social data as a resource and optimal data governance structures
Keywords: Social data, Data governance, Data cooperatives
Abstract: Recently the development of technologies in semantic web have contributed to decentralized data generation and storage, dissolve data silos and provide customers data sovereignty. This has opened the perspective to bring forward the concept of social data, i.e. data that is used with a social porpoise. Despite social data is now an established science to analyze human behavior, there is a lack of precise definitions about social data as a resource, and its implications when it is industrially exploited. The goal is to exactly define how data can be considered as a resource (including the infrastructures required for social data), and what is the role of this resource in the society. We analyze the problems associated to current data-infrastructures and discuss possible solutions. We conclude that social data not only require a special infrastructure but also appropriate forms of governance. We provide some potential use-cases where infrastructures of social data can be applied.
