The implementation of high-value datasets (HVDs) across European Union (EU) Member States is crucial for advancing open data initiatives and facilitating cross-country data reuse. While progress varies among Member States, a standardised approach is essential to ensure the comparability and...

Internet plays a crucial role in the modern digital period, government make official pronouncement online, politician campaign online, writers find audience online, teachers find students online, resource experts find researchers online, land protest movement find traction online and advocates...

The use of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the social sciences has greatly expanded, resulting in newly abundant, high-quality data that can be reused to perform methods research in program evaluation, to systematize evidence for policymakers, and for replication and training purposes....

In this paper we examine the possibilities offered by the EU legal framework to set and regulate a data and meta-data market. It is our contention that a policy and legally-driven market could benefit from analytical concepts - meta-rule of law, semantic web regulatory models, legal ontologies -...

The need for decolonizing cultural institutions and their mismanagement practices in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums, of First Nations peoples' materials and knowledge has been widely recognised. However, this has not translated into an information systems design, nor a complementary...

While linking records across large administrative datasets ["big data"] has the potential to revolutionize empirical social science research, many administrative data files do not have common identifiers and are thus not designed to be linked to others. To address this problem, researchers have...

Why A Market of Data? A Solution for Innovations -- Data-interactive Innovations as the Heart of Market of Data (MoDAT) -- Tools for Activating Data Marketplace (1) -- Tools for Activating Data Marketplace (2) -- Knowledge Structuring and Acquisition for Data Exchange -- Case Studies of...

Purpose – The paper examines how metadata taxonomies in embodied computing databases indicate their orientation (e.g. indicating a marketing focus vs. a focus on ethical and social impact) and describes ways to track the evolution of the embodied computing industry over time through digital...

The efforts of the World Wide Web Consortium in defining and recommending the adoption of an extensible markup language, XML, and a document object model, DOM, have been received with enthusiasm by the software development community. These recommendations have been continuously adopted,...

We compare several geometrical theories based on mereology () in a unified framework. Most theories in this area lack in formalization and this prevents any systematic logical analysis. We overcome this problem by isolating a common domain in R and, selecting natural interpretations, we use this...

One-fifth of the world's population lives in countries affected by fragility, violence and conflict, impeding long-term economic growth. However, little is known about how firms respond to local changes in security, partly because of the difficulty of measuring firm activity in these settings....

This document gives information on the adoption of metadata in the management of various units within the county. It brings to the fore the various categories of metadata that can be utilized to enable the counties visualize their objective. Metadata can be described as data about data it...

This article discusses a small scale pilot to harmonise three Bank of England statistical and regulatory data forms. The primary purpose of the pilot was to assess opportunities for improved operational efficiency in regulatory reporting. The broader purpose was to demonstrate how common data...

Alphabetical name order is the norm for joint publications in economics. However, alphabetical order confers greater benefits on the first author. In a two-author model, we introduce and study certified random order: the uniform randomization of names made universally known by a commonly...

In economics, alphabetical name order is the baseline norm for joint publications. A growing literature suggests, however, that alphabetical order confers uneven benefits on the first author. This paper introduces and studies certified random order, which involves randomization of names that is...

Against a backdrop of increasing access to full text and the perceived success of Web search engines, academic disciplines with highly specialized, if not esoteric, nomenclature remain in need of specially crafted metadata. Art history and the study of architecture represent two such...
