Until now, most companies and organizations have produced and collected various types of data, and stored them in data silos that still have to be integrated with one another in order to enable knowledge creation. For this to happen, both public and private actors must adopt a flexible approach to achieve the necessary transition to break data silos and create collaborative data sharing between data producers and users. In this paper, we investigate several factors influencing cooperative data usage and explore the challenges posed by the participation in cross-organizational data ecosystems by performing an interview study among stakeholders from private and public organizations in the context of the project IDE@S, which aims at fostering the cooperation in data science in the Austrian federal state of Styria. We highlight technological and organizational requirements of data infrastructure, expertise, and practises towards collaborative data usage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data7020020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,29]],"date-time":"2022-01-29T01:41:59Z","timestamp":1643420519000},"page":"20","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Collaborative Data Use between Private and Public Stakeholders\u2014A Regional Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0840-2173","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claire","family":"Jean-Quartier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Data Science and Interactive Systems, Graz University of Technology, 8010 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3116-1926","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Rey Maz\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Data Science and Interactive Systems, Graz University of Technology, 8010 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3541-9624","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mario","family":"Lovri\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Know-Center GmbH, 8010 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7524-6038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Stryeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Data Science and Interactive Systems, Graz University of Technology, 8010 Graz, Austria"},{"name":"Know-Center GmbH, 8010 Graz, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Chatterjee, S., Chaudhuri, R., and Vrontis, D.
