Anincreasingnumberofinitiativeshaveemergedaroundtheworldtohelpfacilitatedatasharing and collaborations to leverage different sources of data to address societal problems. They are called“datacollaboratives”.Datacollaborativesareseenasanovelwaytomatchreallifeproblems with relevant expertise and data from across the sectors. Despite its significance and growing experimentationbypractitioners, therehasbeen limitedresearch in this field.
