ajis02-440	Hart, Dennis	Ownership as an Issue in Data and Information Sharing: a philosophically based review	2002	7	.pdf	application/pdf	6063	220	44	It is further proposed that what are here called “implicit” theories of information ownership on the part of different individuals or parties within an organisation can lead to varying perceptions as to who is the legitimate owner of particular data or information, and that this view is illuminating of the difficulties that have often been experienced in trying to achieve effective organisational data and information sharing. While data and information ownership have been recognised as an issue, particularly with respect to sharing behaviour in an organisational information management and systems development context (e.g. Hart, 1999, Hart & Whymark, 1999; Koh & Watson, 1998; Allen & Wilson, 1996; van Alstyne, et al, 1995; Wigan, 1992), there has apparently been little, if any, attempt to develop a substantive theoretical understanding of the reasons why this should be so.	cache/ajis02-440.pdf	txt/ajis02-440.txt
