A.; Alperin, Juan Pablo; Rao, Anuradha; Parekh, Priya; Traxler, John; Ling, Richard; Chaudhuri, Bidisha; Srinivasan, Janaki; Hoysala, Onkar; Mungai, Paul; Belle, Jean-Paul Van; Sadoway, David; Shekhar, Satyarupa; Kendall, Linus; Dasgupta, Pernabha; Dearden, Andy; Walton, Marion; Densmore, Melissa; Zheng, Yingqin; Stahl, Bernd; Faith, Becky; Singh, Parminder Jeet; Gurumurthy, Anita; Chami, Nandini; Gamage, Piyumi; Rajapakse, Chiranthi; Galpaya, Helani; Moshi, Goodiel C.; Shao, DeoReilly and Alperin (chapter 2, this volume) argue that there are a variety of ways that open data can be connected to meaningful use, depending on the actors and stewardship regime that manage the data. The concept of stewardship adds to the open data scholarship by emphasizing open data intermediation and asking whether powerful actors engage in intermediation strategies that align with the types of social values that citizens prioritize. Thus, identifying stewardship regimes involves uncovering and confronting actors' power and position, values and relationships, and how and why the needs and wants of others (who might benefit from open data) go unmet.Item Blockchain technology as enablement of industry 4.0(IGI Global, 2022) Ishengoma, FredrickIndustry 4.0 (also known as smart manufacturing or industrial internet of things [IIoT]) refers to a major change in the way products are manufactured and delivered, with a focus on industrial automation and the flexible factory backed with several technologies that include the internet of things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, and artificial intelligence. Industry 4.0 gave birth to a new age of smart manufacturing, automated supply chain, and personalized goods and services. Meanwhile, the rise in the application of blockchain technology (BCT) in different sectors propels the Industry 4.0 model to extend its scope. This chapter discusses the impact of BCT as the enablement of Industry 4.0. The modified e-Delphi methodology aimed at gathering the opinions of recognized experts was used. The findings present the potential that BCT brings using a case along with emerging issues. Emerging issues such as BCT security, interoperability, smart contract issues, digital twin issues, and ethical issues are discussed, and solutions are proposed.
