Abstract:
|
"We argue that IoT-enabled socio-technical systems exhibit
two inter-related and inter-dependent commons: one being the commons
of resources (both physical and intellectual), and the other being the
commons of knowledge. We show that both types of commons can be
generically managed by applying Ostrom's design principles for self-
governing institutions. We then propose that one requirement for suc-
cessful and sustainable management of the dual commons is the e ective
deployment of open, inclusive and transparent knowledge management
processes, inspired by a study of classical Athenian democracy. A pro-
cess of interactional justice is proposed as an algorithmic approach to
formalising these processes in socio-technical systems. We conclude by
arguing that the digital transformation needs to be accompanied by a
democratisation of platforms and data which empower citizens to sup-
port and sustain collective action."
