Abstract
Open data supply chains may comprise multiple intermediaries, and multiple forms of capital may be required to connect the supply and use of open data. In older traditional systems, intermediaries included the media, civil society and advocacy organizations and researchers. In open data systems today no single intermediary is likely to possess all the requirements to unlock the full value of data. For instance, given that technical capital is especially pertinent to data treatment and processing, a crucial competence is to be able to find it, open, retrieve, and reproduce it, etc. But economic or social capital may be just as crucial.
