A healthy democracy must serve the common good, and decision-making must be accountable and transparent in order for it to be trustworthy. Science in the service of the public good must also conform to democratic norms of accountability and transparency. Yet data production and scientific knowledge are all too often, the product of political decision-making because science is expensive to produce. The decisions of our institutions shape the scope of data and information that is produced. For this is an expensive process, and not open to all.
