[CODATA-international] Digital Feudalism

[Ernie Boyko]

Thank you Suchith,I have not heard that term before but I did run into   related term this week at the DDI-CODATA workshop here in Dagstuhl.  The term is Data Colonialism.  This often happens when a foreign entity (e.g., a development agency/project).e data are collected in a developing country and are taken out of the country.  They will leave behind some summary tables but will take the rich data and metadata away.  This makes it difficult to develop the data analysis and management skills within the country.  
Thanks for the message.
Cheers, Ernie+1-613-290-2804Larrimac:  More than a golf course!CODATA: Making data work together to improve science to support decision makers.

I came across a recent op-ed by Prof. Mariana Mazzucato on “Digital Feudalism” at





https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/platform-economy-digital-feudalism-by-mariana-mazzucato-2019-10?utm_source=Project+Syndicate+Newsletter&utm_campaign=d192f2bc47-sunday_newsletter_6_10_2019&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_73bad5b7d8-d192f2bc47-105013549&mc_cid=d192f2bc47&mc_eid=a8cee90b20





Prof. Mazzucato is a leading researcher and thinker on Technology and Innovation, advisor to the European Commission on research and innovation strategy, and author of two important books on the subject “The Value of Everything” and “The Entrepreneurial State”. 





The report on “Mission-oriented Research and Innovation in the European Union” might be of interest

Since the use of cloud platforms for GIS data analysis is having a huge impact on the GIS community, the subject is of relevance. I would like learn more on this 



   
   
   - Are there any examples of Digital Feudalism in GIS? 
   
   - How will Digital Feudalism in GIS affect our future generations?
   
   - What policies are governments, regulators doing to reduce Digital Feudalism in GIS?
   
   - What policies and curriculum are universities, educators adopting to reduce Digital Feudalism in GIS?




Best wishes,




Suchith
