Data interoperability and the governance of public value

Key Points

Data interoperability is crucial for enabling value production from data, especially in the platform economy.
Emerging health data regulations in the US highlight the need for robust data governance strategies to maximize public value.
The governance of interoperability influences how data is used toward specific outcomes and affects power dynamics.
Effective data governance can facilitate better decision-making and equitable access to data-driven value.

Abstract

Data interoperability—or standardized data sharing and use across organizational boundaries—is central to the production of value from big data. Using emerging health data regulations in the United States as a case study, this commentary demonstrates the importance of interoperability as a fulcrum in the governance of data-driven value production in the platform economy. Specifically, I explore how data governance of interoperability data governance: (1) is a foundational enabler of value production from data; (2) shapes processes of value production toward particular ends; and (3) intervenes in the accumulation of power through data.
