ABSTRACT With the emergence of data ecosystems organisations are not only analysing their own data but also utilising data outside of their boundaries. Interorganizational data exchange comes with new challenges in terms of data governance. Inspired by organisational information processing theory, this paper follows an action design research (ADR) approach to create a robust data

ABSTRACT During a disaster, many people seek information from virtual communities. However, information overload, falsehoods and unrelated topics hinder information flow in virtual communities, putting disaster victims at risk.
