Information sharing failures in the public sector present a critical challenge to the modern information state that costs lives and billions of dollars annually. The book presents a thorough investigation of current information sharing approaches and their weaknesses. The book analyses the popular US open data program, including a rigorous, empirical study of the program that reveals its poor performance. Peled examines current data exchange practices in the public sector and concludes that information is a valuable asset that public sector agencies are not often willing to release without compensation. Peled proposes to consider public data as a contested commodity and exchange it using restricted commoditization arrangements in a Public Sector Information Exchange (PSIE). The book includes a detailed review of two PSIE models including addressing legal, economic, and technical challenges. Peled engages with key ethical and political debate regarding the interaction of PSIE and democratic values, privacy, data ownership and intellectual property, and freedom of information. The book concludes with insights for politicians, public sector officials, technologists and citizens.Less

The chapter explains the concept of a Public Sector Information Exchange (PSIE). It then presents a detailed case study of a supply-chain PSIE model: the Australian CrimTrac program that was established to streamline information sharing among Australian police organizations. The chapter then explores the potential for an exchange PSIE model to be implemented in a US public sector agency in the environmental domain. Economic, legal and technical challenges to an exchange-model PSIE are outlined in detail. A case study of the deNovis project shows how semantic interoperability challenges could be overcome.Less

Chapter eight offers practical advise for implementing a Public Sector Information Exchange (PSIE) in the US and elsewhere. It includes important insights for politicians, public sector officials, technologists, and citizens to enable the implementation of PSIE. The chapter concludes with the observation that the success of information sharing initiatives ultimately depends on the motivation of the people who are tasked with their implementation.Less
