Data Collaborations Across Boundaries

There are many good stories about data collaborations across boundaries. We need more. We also need to share the lessons each of us has learned from collaborating with parties and communities not in our familiar circles.

By boundaries, we mean not just the regulatory borders in between the nation states about data sharing but the various barriers, readily conceivable or not, that hinder collaboration in aggregating, sharing, and reusing data for social good. These barriers to collaboration exist between the academic disciplines, between the economic players, and between the many user communities, just to name a few. There are also cross-domain barriers, for example those that lay among data practitioners, public administrators, and policy makers when they are articulating the why, what, and how of "open data" and debating its economic significance and fair distribution. This session aims to bring together experiences and thoughts on good data practices in facilitating collaborations across boundaries and domains.

The success of Wikipedia proves that collaborative content production and service, by ways of copyleft licenses, can be sustainable when coordinated by a non-profit and funded by the general public. Collaborative code repositories like GitHub and GitLab demonstrate the enormous value and mass scale of systems-facilitated integration of user contributions that run across multiple programming languages and developer communities. Research data aggregators and repositories such as GBIF, GISAID, and Zenodo have served numerous researchers across academic disciplines. Citizen science projects and platforms, for instance eBird, Galaxy Zoo, and Taiwan Roadkill Observation Network (TaiRON), not only collect data from diverse communities but also manage and release datasets for research use and public benefit (e.g. TaiRON datasets being used to improve road design and reduce animal mortality). At the same time large scale data collaborations depend on standards, protocols, and tools for building registries (e.g. Archival Resource Key), ontologies (e.g. Wikidata and schema.org), repositories (e.g. CKAN and Omeka), and computing services (e.g. Jupyter Notebook). There are many types of data collaborations. The above lists only a few.

This session proposal calls for contributions to bring forward lessons learned from collaborative data projects and platforms, especially about those that involve multiple communities and/or across organizational boundaries. Presentations focusing on the following (non-exclusive) topics are sought after:

1. Support mechanisms and governance structures for data collaborations across organizations/communities.

2. Data policies --- such as data sharing agreements, memorandum of understanding, terms of use, privacy policies, etc. --- for facilitating collaborations across organizations/communities.

3. Traditional and non-traditional funding sources for data collaborations across multiple parties; sustainability of data collaboration projects, platforms, and communities.

4. Data workflows --- collection, processing, aggregation, archiving, and publishing, etc. --- designed with considerations of (external) collaboration.

5. Collaborative web platforms for data acquisition, curation, analysis, visualization, and education.

6. Examples and insights from data trusts, data coops, as well as other formal and informal forms of data stewardship.

7. Debates on the pros and cons of centralized, distributed, and/or federated data services.

8. Practical lessons learned from data collaboration stories: failure, success, incidence, unexpected turn of event, aftermath, etc. (no story is too small!).

This growth will be driven by continued technological advancements, increasing adoption in underserved regions, and the growing awareness of the benefits of HIE platforms among healthcare providers. Segmentation within the market is likely based on deployment model (cloud-based vs. on-premise), functionality (basic vs. advanced), and end-user (hospitals, clinics, etc.). Regional variations in adoption rates will exist, with North America and Europe likely maintaining a substantial market share, owing to mature healthcare infrastructures and supportive regulatory frameworks. However, emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and Latin America are anticipated to witness significant growth as healthcare infrastructure improves and digital health adoption increases.
