Vilken grundläggande idé utgår vi ifrån när vi talar om förnuft och rationalitet och vilka konsekvenser får detta för synen på individen, individen i samhället samt individen i datasystemet? Uppsaten belyser problematik rörande den icke-situerade individen, vilken inte är en individ utan snarare en skenbar produkt utav homogena värderingar.

Delning av data genom öppna data börjar bli allt mer vanligt i samhället. Samtidigt blir fordon på vägarna mer uppkopplade, tekniskt avancerade och samlar in mer data än tidigare. Öppna data i kombination med uppkopplade fordon i syfte att tillgängliggöra fordonsdata som öppna data har stor potential att bidra med värde till samhället. Denna studie identifierade och konkretiserade fem drivande och fem utmanande faktorer relaterade till potentialen för fordonsdata att utgöra öppna data. Studien applicerar en kvalitativ metod med en induktiv ansats. Sju informanter med varierande erfarenheter inom öppna data intervjuades genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Urvalet baserades främst på ett informationsurval. Studiens analys underbyggs av teoriområdena: databaserat värdeskapande, öppna dataekosystem och öppen innovation. Sammanfattningsvis är de drivande faktorerna som identifierats att data har ett högt värde, öppna fordonsdata kan bidra till förbättrade tjänster och infrastruktur, öppna fordonsdata främjar innovation, informationssäkerheten kan stärkas och slutligen att öppna dataekosystem främjar öppna data. De utmanande faktorerna är bristande interoperabilitet, komplicerade dataägarskapsförhållanden, att fordonsdata kan innehålla känsliga data och integritetsproblem, ekonomiska och strategiska hinder och till sist bristande kunskap och medvetenhet om öppna data. För att realisera värdet i fordonsdata som öppna data krävs det att fler aktörer delar öppna fordonsdata och bidrar till ett mer etablerat öppna dataekosystem. / Sharing data through open data is becoming increasingly common in society. Simultaneously, vehicles on the roads are becoming more connected, technologically advanced, and collect more data than before. Open data combined with connected vehicles, with the aim of making vehicle data available as open data, has great potential to contribute value to society. This study identified and concretized five driving and five challenging factors related to the potential for vehicle data to serve as open data. The study employs a qualitative method with an inductive approach. Seven interviewees with varying experiences in open data were interviewed through semi-structured interviews. The selection was mainly based on an information-oriented sampling. The study’s analysis is supported by the theoretical areas of data-based value creation, open data ecosystems, and open innovation. In summary, the identified driving factors are that data has high value, open vehicle data can contribute to improved services and infrastructure, open vehicle data promotes innovation, information security can be enhanced, and finally, open data ecosystems facilitate open data. The challenging factors are a lack of interoperability, complicated data ownership relationships, vehicle data potentially containing sensitive data and privacy issues, economic and strategic barriers, and finally, a lack of knowledge and awareness about open data. To realize the value of vehicle data as open data, more actors need to share open vehicle data and contribute to a more established open data ecosystem.

This diploma thesis focuses on the topic of posthumous user data management concerning social media platforms. This topic is rarely discussed from the viewpoint of new media studies in academic literature. My thesis endeavours to unveil, contextualize, and critically assess the development of the posthumous data policies in order to uncover the level of control users and survivors have over the deceased users' data. Thus, three case studies of chronological posthumous policy development of major social media (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) were conducted and results were compared. The analysis has shown that platforms are rather reluctant to change their posthumous policies. One of the primary triggers for change comes from the users' feedback. Across all three cases every platform provided limited or no information about these policies in their terms of use or privacy policies. The case studies demonstrated that users have very limited choices regarding their data after death directly on the examined social media platforms. Individuals who were close to the deceased account users have the ability to request account deletion or have limited access to the account granted by the platform. The level of data preservation demanded by platforms seems dependent on a given social media's communication specificity...
