Trusted decision-making: Data governance for creating trust in data science decision outcomes

Organizations are increasingly introducing data science initiatives to support decision-making. However, the decision outcomes of data science initiatives are not always used or adopted by decision-makers, often due to uncertainty about the quality of data input. It is, therefore, not surprising that organizations are increasingly turning to...

Roles and capabilities of enterprise architecture in big data analytics technology adoption and implementation

Organizations are attempting to harness the power of big data analytics. Enterprise architecture can be used as an instrument to integrate big data analytics into the existing IT landscape and enabling the development of capabilities to create value from these technologies. Yet, there is limited research about the role of enterprise...

Data governance: Organizing data for trustworthy Artificial Intelligence

The rise of Big, Open and Linked Data (BOLD) enables Big Data Algorithmic Systems (BDAS) which are often based on machine learning, neural networks and other forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As such systems are increasingly requested to make decisions that are consequential to individuals, communities and society at large, their...

Data Governance as Success Factor for Data Science

More and more, asset management organizations are introducing data science initiatives to support predictive maintenance and anomaly detection. Asset management organizations are by nature data intensive to manage their assets like bridges, dykes, railways and roads. For this, they often implement data lakes using a variety of architectures...

Data science empowering the public: Data-driven dashboards for transparent and accountable decision-making in smart cities

Dashboards visualize a consolidated set data for a certain purpose which enables users to see what is happening and to initiate actions. Dashboards can be used by governments to support their decision-making and policy processes or to communicate and interact with the public. The objective of this paper is to understand and to support the...

A Process Pattern Model for Tackling and Improving Big Data Quality

Data seldom create value by themselves. They need to be linked and combined from multiple sources, which can often come with variable data quality. The task of improving data quality is a recurring challenge. In this paper, we use a case study of a large telecom company to develop a generic process pattern model for improving data quality....

A reference architecture for context-aware intelligent traffic management platforms

Smart cities have been heralded for improving traffic management by utilizing data for making better traffic management decisions. Multi-sided platforms collect data from sensors and citizen-generated data on one side and can provide input for decision-making using data analytics by governments and the public on the other side. However, there...

Relating big data and data quality in financial service organizations

Today’s financial service organizations have a data deluge. A number of V’s are often used to characterize big data, whereas traditional data quality is characterized by a number of dimensions. Our objective is to investigate the complex relationship between big data and data quality. We do this by comparing the big data characteristics with...

Data collaboratives as “bazaars”?: A review of coordination problems and mechanisms to match demand for data with supply

Purpose: In “data collaboratives”, private and public organizations coordinate their activities to leverage data to address a societal challenge. This paper aims to focus on analyzing challenges and coordination mechanisms of data collaboratives. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses coordination theory to identify and discuss the...

This panel is dedicated to the theme of 'data collaboratives', a novel form of public private partnership to leverage data for addressing societal challenges. The panel brings together prolific researchers and practitioners to share lessons and discuss how value is created from data collaboratives for the solving of public problems. The panel...

Driving innovation through big open linked data (BOLD): Exploring antecedents using interpretive structural modelling

Innovation is vital to find new solutions to problems, increase quality, and improve profitability. Big open linked data (BOLD) is a fledgling and rapidly evolving field that creates new opportunities for innovation. However, none of the existing literature has yet considered the interrelationships between antecedents of innovation through...
