Monetization of data is just one of the ways to foster data sharing : Ethic point of view on monetization

Samenvatting

Data sharing is the primary ethical problem that stakeholders in digital farming frequently bring forwards. Simone van der Burg, leader of the work package on ethics in IOF2020 (WP7), therefore spent a significant part of her time on it. One of the goals of WP7 is to enhance reflection among stakeholders about the issue of data sharing. To offer input for that reflection, Van der Burg and her colleagues Elsje Oosterkamp and Marc-Jeroen Bogaardt first did a series of interviews with stakeholders (farmers, ICT developers, policymakers, insurance companies, banks, NGOs and government controlling bodies), asking for their reflections about the future of data sharing. Questions were asked ;such as: What are sensitive data? With whom would you (not) be willing to share these data? Are these data sensitive in everyone's hands? What do you see as a possible future for data sharing? How can data sharing be beneficial to you?
