Abstract
During the design of a new technology many design choices need to be made at a high level of detail. These detailed design decisions shape the nature of the resulting technology. The reasoning underlying each decision is ultimately based on abstract organizational values such as integrity, trust, security, or fairness. These values are, however, typically only implicitly involved in the design process. As a result, the technology may exhibit different characteristics than were foreseen because it is not in compliance with these abstract values. To ensure compliance, values should be systematically incorporated in the design. This study builds on recent advances in the area of Value Sensitive Design, which aims to take values explicitly into account from the design phase onwards as to achieve compliance by design.
