SUMMARY:Workshop on Knowledge Infrastructures and Digital Governance: Histo
 ry\, Challenges\, Practices
DESCRIPTION:The workshop has been moved online in the afternoons of Septemb
 er 7th and 8th\, 2020. \n\nWorkshop organised by the OPERAS community\n\n
 This workshop aims at revisiting digital knowledge infrastructures from an
  organisational and governance perspective\, through their history\, their
  stakes and achievements\, as well as their challenges and obstacles. It w
 ill explore how these infrastructures frame themselves\, evolve and adapt\
 , how they stimulate participation and implement innovative models of gove
 rnance (e.g. Wikipedia) as well as how they create a shared culture and co
 mmon values\, how they sustain knowledge commons and may contribute to a n
 ew epistemology and scientific environment.\n\nHow to balance the needs to
  ensure efficiency and reliability with the capacity to be open to new mod
 els of governance\, including those who have emerged from the digital envi
 ronment? How to meet the rising needs of players to cooperate on the basis
  of personal autonomy\, flexibility and opportunity\, rather than exclusiv
 ely on hierarchy and formalism? Acting at the interface of several communi
 ties\, what governance tools\, forms and means of action have digital know
 ledge employed so far and which ones could they further use in order to sa
 tisfy their role of intermediaries\, mediators and facilitators within com
 plex environments?\n\nRelevant topics may include but are not limited to:
 \n\nHistory of digital knowledge infrastructures\nHistory\, evolution and 
 analysis of specific concepts such as accountability in governance\, liqui
 d democracy\, etc.\, as well as proposals to go beyond these existing mode
 ls\nCritical review of innovative modes of governance in distributed organ
 isations or/and in the digital area\nField studies of innovative governanc
 e in chosen public and private organisations and their practices\nField st
 udies of innovative governance in creating and maintaining knowledge commo
 ns\nCritical testimonies on the implementation or experiments with new mod
 es of governance\nPresentation and analysis of online decision-making tool
 s (wiki\, blockchain\, e-voting\, etc.)\nProspective outlook on the govern
 ance of knowledge and research infrastructures\n\nThe workshop will combin
 e formal presentations with more participatory collective brainstorming se
 ssions. It is open to the academic world (digital humanities\, history\, m
 anagement and administration sciences\, computer science\, information and
  communication sciences\, media studies\, etc.)\, to the world of culture\
 , libraries\, archives\, publishing\, but also widely to the players in th
 e free software movement as well as to the private sector (whether partici
 pants are confronted with new forms of governance\, suppliers of software 
 solutions related to the challenges of digital governance or involved in t
 he implementation of new modes of governance in their organisations).
