Interview Format, Survey, and Python code, supporting Phd Research on Public Information Infrastructures

This data set contains various documents supporting the thesis 'Public Information Infrastructure Stewardship'. It contains interview and survey formats, as well as Python codes.<br>Abstract of the Thesis: Governments rely heavily on information to perform their public duties. Much of the relevant data is held by other parties, including citizens, private companies, research institutions, civil society organisations and international platforms. This necessitates the establishment of public information infrastructures (PII) to facilitate data exchange between these external parties and public organisations. However, governments encounter new problems when designing information infrastructures. There is a lack of understanding of these PII in both science and practice. This makes it difficult to anticipate how practitioners, or specifically PII stewards, can ensure high-quality configurations. Understanding the configuration of PII and how PII stewards can influence it early in the process can help public organisations make more informed, coherent decisions and ensure the infrastructure evolves in alignment with public values and long-term goals. This manuscript addresses the key question: what is PII stewardship, and how does it interact with configurations for data exchange with (semi-)public organisations? Through multiple research phases, we provide answers to the research questions and insights into the interaction between PII stewardship and PII configurations. We observe that each steward corresponds with a specific PII configuration. These configurations evolve over time, resulting in changes to the type of PII stewardship.
