Value co-creation in Data Ecosystems (MSCA-ITN ODECO) KU Leuven
This project aims to analyze and assess the value that is created and captured in data ecosystems, in order to contribute to a just redistribution of value within the ecosystems. Combining and integrating theories, approaches and methods from the ecosystem domain and the (open) data domain, the project will contribute a review of existing models and methods for measuring and assessing ecosystems, open data, and their value. Moreover, a novel ...
