Collective Data Governance for Development of Digital Government

The article analyzes the role of collective data governance for development of digital government. Digital government is characterized by the introduction of new data-driven services and tools. These tools improve the quality and convenience of services, but their implementation requires that the data governance system adequately reflects the complexity of the management object. In this context, digital government is considered as the regulation of the virtual space for the value extraction and the rationalization of social structures. Collective data governance is necessary for the development of digital government as a flexible management system with extensive communication networks and mutual control circuits. There are three main formats for collective data governance. 1) Data commons correspond to the function of decentralized management, increasing collective value and reducing transaction costs, 2) data trusts are necessary for representing interests and fiduciary data management, 3) data marketplaces are in demand for increasing individual value and creating the legal data market. The introduction of collective data governance requires legal regulation of data access, use and dissemination. In addition, the formats of collective data governance can be tested in pilot projects, including smart cities, projects in fintech, biotech, govtech, adtech etc. The paper provides definition of digital government, formats of collective data governance and their functions, decisions for scaling and testing of collective data governance.
