National Bureau of Economic Research, Kane, Thomas J., Taylor, Eric S., and Tyler, John H.
- Abstract
Recent research has confirmed both the importance of teachers in producing student achievement growth and in the variability across teachers in the ability to do that. Such findings raise the stakes on our ability to identify effective teachers and teaching practices. This paper combines information from classroom-based observations and measures of teachers' ability to improve student achievement as a step toward addressing these challenges. We find that classroom based measures of teaching effectiveness are related in substantial ways to student achievement growth. Our results point to the promise of teacher evaluation systems that would use information from both classroom observations and student test scores to identify effective teachers. Our results also offer information on the types of practices that are most effective at raising achievement.

Liu, Qinyi and Khalil, Mohammad
- Abstract
The field of learning analytics has advanced from infancy stages into a more practical domain, where tangible solutions are being implemented. Nevertheless, the field has encountered numerous privacy and data protection issues that have garnered significant and growing attention. In this systematic review, four databases were searched concerning privacy and data protection issues of learning analytics. A final corpus of 47 papers published in top educational technology journals was selected after running an eligibility check. An analysis of the final corpus was carried out to answer the following three research questions: (1) What are the privacy and data protection issues in learning analytics? (2) What are the similarities and differences between the views of stakeholders from different backgrounds on privacy and data protection issues in learning analytics? (3) How have previous approaches attempted to address privacy and data protection issues? The results of the systematic review show that there are eight distinct, intertwined privacy and data protection issues that cut across the learning analytics cycle. There are both cross-regional similarities and three sets of differences in stakeholder perceptions towards privacy and data protection in learning analytics. With regard to previous attempts to approach privacy and data protection issues in learning analytics, there is a notable dearth of applied evidence, which impedes the assessment of their effectiveness. The findings of our paper suggest that privacy and data protection issues should not be relaxed at any point in the implementation of learning analytics, as these issues persist throughout the learning analytics development cycle. One key implication of this review suggests that solutions to privacy and data protection issues in learning analytics should be more evidence-based, thereby increasing the trustworthiness of learning analytics and its usefulness.

National Bureau of Economic Research, Almond, Douglas, Mazumder, Bhashkar, and van Ewijk, Reyn
- Abstract
We consider the effects of daytime fasting by pregnant women during the lunar month of Ramadan on their children's test scores at age seven. Using English register data, we find that scores are 0.05 to 0.08 standard deviations lower for Pakistani and Bangladeshi students exposed to Ramadan in early pregnancy. These estimates are downward biased to the extent that Ramadan is not universally observed. We conclude that the effects of prenatal investments on test scores are comparable to many conventional educational interventions but are likely to be more cost effective and less subject to "fade out".

106. Implement Adaptation in a Case Based ITS
- Author

Graf von Malotky, Nikolaj Troels and Martens, Alke
- Abstract
ITSs have the requirement to be adaptive to the student with AI. The classical ITS architecture defines three components to split the data and to keep it flexible and thus adaptive. However, there is a lack of abstract descriptions how to put adaptive behavior into practice. This paper defines how you can structure your data for case based systems in a way that adaptivity is easier to achieve while maintaining the classical splitting of the system and reducing the data footprint. Building a case based system from a collection of exchangeable steps is also possible with this approach. Two variants of adaptivity based on the data structure are explored and both can be used in conjunction. [For the full proceedings, see ED621108.]

108. Persona Journey Mapping to Drive Equity during an LMS Transition
- Author
-
Kam Moi Lee, Megan Mcfarland, and Kari Goin Kono
- Abstract
One way to achieve equitable design is to directly include users who will be impacted the most in the planning and facilitation of a project. Common financial, logistical, and/or temporal constraints reveal that direct inclusion of the people most impacted is not always possible. If this barrier arises, one promising alternative is the creation and use of personas. Using a vignette and case study qualitative methodological approach, three researchers at a large urban university in the Pacific Northwest detail personas and journey mapping as an equitable design practice during a LMS migration on a rapid development timeline. This paper details how personas were created using empirical data, how journey mapping impacted various teams, and how centering equity better prepared staff to support instructors throughout the migration while addressing the student learning impact.

Education Commission of the States, Denver, CO. Education Finance Center. and Hyde, William
- Abstract
Intended to help state planners, this paper focuses on the availability of information regarding the economic and demographic characteristics of adults and their participation and interest in instructor-directed lifelong learning. The first secion identifies sources of data on the economic and demographic conditions of adults that may be of use to planners in determining lifelong learning program needs, especially the Adult Education Participation Survey and Current Population Survey reports. Usefulness and limitations of these data are noted. The second section speculates on the implications that some of these data have for planning state level policies for lifelong learning. In section 3 are discussed shortfalls that might be encountered in designing surveys or interpreting survey results, including omission of appropriate information/questions, omission of tuition and fee or student cost information from surveys, failure of sampling designs to include a sufficient number of subjects, and inconsistencies within surveys. Section 4 makes these general observations about the future of lifelong learning as it relates to statewide planning: growth in the number of adults shows potential for more participation, financial support for lifelong learning activities will influence enrollments, disposition of state politicians toward lifelong learning is important to funding, and progress in planning and funding will be uneven.

112. Considerations in Needs Assessment Design. Working Paper No. 1.
- Author

Kamehameha Schools/Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate, Honolulu, HI. and Heath, Robert W.
- Abstract
A view of needs assessment consistent with ecological frameworks is presented in this paper. Discussion focuses on intensive and extensive data types, horizontal approaches, and basic assumptions and requirements of convergent analysis. Also discussed are four linking mechanisms used to connect information among data levels used in convergent analysis: conceptual, statistical methodology, common subjects, and location. Limitations of a concurrent strategy and benefits of longitudinal research designs are also covered. The concluding discussion defines and illustrates three ways of operationally defining "need" in needs assessment studies. It is argued that discrepancy, demand, and dialogue models encompass nearly all theoretical categories of need occurring in the literature. Together these models provide a useful taxonomy for comparing models of assessment. Positive attributes and problems associated with each of the three models are pointed out. It is concluded that it would be a mistake to view the elements of needs assessment as mutually exclusive. Rather, the task of needs assessment design is to find the most useful balance among the elements that conform to the constraints and objectives of a given study. (RH)

Background Data papers have emerged as a powerful instrument for open data publishing, obtaining credit, and establishing priority for datasets generated in scientific experiments. Academic publishing improves data and metadata quality through peer review and increases the impact of datasets by enhancing their visibility, accessibility, and reusability. Objective We aimed to establish a new type of article structure and template for omics studies: the omics data paper. To improve data interoperability and further incentivize researchers to publish well-described datasets, we created a prototype workflow for streamlined import of genomics metadata from the European Nucleotide Archive directly into a data paper manuscript. Methods An omics data paper template was designed by defining key article sections that encourage the description of omics datasets and methodologies. A metadata import workflow, based on REpresentational State Transfer services and Xpath, was prototyped to extract information from the European Nucleotide Archive, ArrayExpress, and BioSamples databases. Findings The template and workflow for automatic import of standard-compliant metadata into an omics data paper manuscript provide a mechanism for enhancing existing metadata through publishing. Conclusion The omics data paper structure and workflow for import of genomics metadata will help to bring genomic and other omics datasets into the spotlight. Promoting enhanced metadata descriptions and enforcing manuscript peer review and data auditing of the underlying datasets brings additional quality to datasets. We hope that streamlined metadata reuse for scholarly publishing encourages authors to create enhanced metadata descriptions in the form of data papers to improve both the quality of their metadata and its findability and accessibility.

116. Using Markup Languages for Accessible Scientific, Technical, and Scholarly Document Creation
- Author

White, Jason J. G.
- Abstract
In using software to write a scientific, technical, or other scholarly document, authors have essentially two options. They can either write it in a 'what you see is what you get' (WYSIWYG) editor such as a word processor, or write it in a text editor using a markup language such as HTML, LATEX, Markdown, or AsciiDoc. This paper gives an overview of the latter approach, focusing on both the non-visual accessibility of the writing process, and that of the documents produced. Currently popular markup languages and established tools associated with them are introduced. Support for mathematical notation is considered. In addition, domain-specific programming languages for constructing various types of diagrams can be well integrated into the document production process. These languages offer interesting potential to facilitate the non-visual creation of graphical content, while raising insufficiently explored research questions. The flexibility with which documents written in current markup languages can be converted to different output formats is emphasized. These formats include HTML, EPUB, and PDF, as well as file formats used by contemporary word processors. Such conversion facilities can serve as means of enhancing the accessibility of a document both for the author (during the editing and proofreading process) and for those among the document's recipients who use assistive technologies, such as screen readers and screen magnifiers. Current developments associated with markup languages and the accessibility of scientific or technical documents are described. The paper concludes with general commentary, together with a summary of opportunities for further research and software development.

- Abstract
The State Higher Education Executive Officers Association's (SHEEO) "Communities of Practice" project builds upon SHEEO's ongoing efforts to measure the capacity and effective use of state postsecondary data systems and provides states with opportunities to develop solutions to common issues with those systems. The sixth Community of Practice convening, "Aligning K-12 and Postsecondary Education," was held December 7-8, 2021, in Denver, Colorado. The two-day meeting included representatives from 13 states: Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, and Washington. Teams included representatives from SHEEO agencies, state K-12 agencies, P-20 partnership organizations, state longitudinal data systems, and others. The Community of Practice also addressed the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on student transitions and how state data systems can be used to promote equitable outcomes for low-income students and students of color. During the convening, teams explored practical uses of state P-20 data for improving college access, equity, and success and how state postsecondary data can better inform the K-12 to postsecondary pipeline. This white paper highlights key themes and findings of the convening, including challenges and lessons learned from the participating state teams and suggestions of topics for further consideration. Case studies describing ongoing efforts in Georgia and Pennsylvania are included in the appendices. Presentations from the December 2021 convening are available on SHEEO's state postsecondary data website.

118. Using Community-Based Problems to Increase Motivation in a Data Science Virtual Internship

Johnson, Jillian C. and Olney, Andrew M.
- Abstract
Typical data science instruction uses generic datasets like survival rates on the Titanic, which may not be motivating for students. Will introducing real-life data science problems fill this motivational deficit? To analyze this question, we contrasted learning with generic datasets and artificial problems (Phase 1) with a community-sourced dataset and authentic problems (Phase 2) in the context of an 8-week virtual internship. Retrospective survey questions indicated interns experienced increased motivation in Phase 2. Additionally, analysis of intern discourse using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) indicated a significant difference in linguistic measures between the two phases. Phase 1 had significantly greater measures of pronouns with a small-medium effect size, 2nd person words with a medium-large effect size, positive emotion with a medium effect size, inter-rogations with a medium-large effect size, question marks with a medium-large effect size, risk with a medium-large effect size, and causal words with a medium effect size. These results in conjunction with a retrospective survey suggest that phase 1 had more questions asked, more causal relationships defined, and included linguistic features of success and failure. Results from Phase 2 indicated that community-sourced data and problems may increase motivation for learning data science. [For the full proceedings, see ED623995.]

119. The Impact of the Pandemic on IRT Model/Data Fit
- Author

Plackner, Christie and Kim, Dong-In
- Abstract
The application of item response theory (IRT) is almost universal in the development, implementation, and maintenance of large-scale assessments. Therefore, establishing the fit of IRT models to data is essential as the viability of calibration and equating implementations depend on it. In a typical test administration situation, measurement disturbances that influence model data fit are expected. Unfortunately, test administrations nationwide experienced new measurement disturbances because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the substantial disruption in education, did the response patterns of test takers change enough that model data fit is threatened and the degree of confidence in applying IRT analyses diminished? Using data from a large-scale state assessment system's 2019 and 2021 administration of the same test forms, model and data fit statistics for items and test takers were evaluated. The summary item fit index Q[subscript 1] (Yen, 1993) and the person fit statistic l[subscript z] (Choi, 2010; Drasgow et. al., 1985) were used for the analyses. Results from the study provide evidence that there wasn't a greater risk to the use of IRT models in 2021 than in previous years, despite the measurement disturbances introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

National Association of School Nurses and Denehy, Janice
- Abstract
It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) to support the collection of essential nursing data as listed in the Nursing Minimum Data Set (NMDS). The NMDS provides a basic structure to identify the data needed to delineate nursing care delivered to clients as well as relevant characteristics of those clients. Structure and standardization of data is essential for the efficient utilization of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) so that health information is meaningful and can be shared electronically or exchanged across settings and with different health care providers. With the current emphasis on meaningful use of health data contained in EHRs, registered professional school nurses (hereinafter referred to as school nurse) need to be aware of the importance of including school health data in EHRs to participate in the electronic exchange of useful health information with other health care providers to insure continuity and quality of care (Johnson & Bergren, 2011). To accomplish this, EHRs require standardized, meaningful data integrating data sets such as the NMDS. Ongoing evaluation will be needed to determine the usefulness of the NMDS and its ability to capture the data needed to validate the contributions of school nursing services to the health care system or if additional data elements are needed to establish a data set unique to school nursing.

Abstrak Setiap orang berhak atas perlindungan diri pribadi, keluarga, kehormatan, martabat, dan harta benda yang di bawah kekuasaannya, serta berhak atas rasa aman dan perlindungan dari ancaman ketakutan untuk berbuat atau tidak berbuat sesuatu yang merupakan hak asasi. Inilah rumusan dari Pasal 28 G Ayat (1) dari Undang-Undang Dasar, yang dinyatakan Perubahannya yang Kedua dalam suatu Ketetapan Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat Republik Indonesia. Dalam rumusan ketentuan ini orang dapat menyuling semua asas yang mengatur perlindungan data dalam Sistem Hukum Pancasila.Di samping rumusan ketentuan di atas, sejumlah rumusan kaedah hukum lainnya berisi asas-asas yang sama dapat juga ditemukan dalam beberapa Undang-Undang yang berlaku dalam sistem hukum Indonesia. Antara lain, UU No. 8 tahun 2011 tentang ITE. Penulis artikel ini berpendapat bahwa seluruh rumusan ketentuan dimaksud adalah bentuk-bentuk perwujudan diri dari jiwa bangsa (Volksgeist) tempat orang dapat menemukan asas-asas dan kaidah yang mengatur perlindungan data dalam Sistem Hukum Pancasila. Satu dari asas hukum yang melindungi data pribadi dapat digunakan untuk memecahkan skandal terkini, yaitu Panamapapers. Abstract Every person has the rights to get protection on his personal/privacy, family, honor, dignity and properties under his power, and has rights to feel secure and to get protection from fear of any threat in order to do or not to do something related to their fundamental rights. This is the formulation of the Article 28 G (1) of the Indonesian Basic Act, mentioned in its Second Amendment mentioned in the Decision of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia. In this stipulation one could distil all the legal principles governing data protection in the Pancasila Legal System. Apart from the stipulation mentioned above, some further formulation of legal rules contained similar principles may also be found in several Acts in the Indonesian legal system. Among those Acts, is the Act number 8 of 2011 concerning Information and Electronic Transaction. This writer argues that all of the stipulations are forms of manifestation of the spirit of the Indonesian people (Volksgeist) in which one could find rules and principles governing data protection in the Pancasila Legal System. One of the principles of Law that protect the personal data could be used in order to solve the rescent scandal called Panamapapers.

Contains fulltext : 237219.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Objective: To describe characteristics of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted using electronic health records (EHRs), including completeness and transparency of reporting assessed against the 2021 CONSORT Extension for RCTs Conducted Using Cohorts and Routinely Collected Data (CONSORT-ROUTINE) criteria. Study design: MEDLINE and Cochrane Methodology Register were searched for a sample of RCTs published from 2011–2018. Completeness of reporting was assessed in a random sample using a pre-defined coding form. Results 183 RCT publications were identified; 122 (67%) used EHRs to identify eligible participants, 139 (76%) used the EHR as part of the intervention and 137 (75%) to ascertain outcomes. When 60 publications were evaluated against the CONSORT 2010 item and the corresponding extension for the 8 modified items, four items were 'adequately reported' for the majority of trials. Five new reporting items were identified for the CONSORT-ROUTINE extension; when evaluated, one was 'adequately reported', three were reported 'inadequately or not at all', the other 'partially'. There were, however, some encouraging signs with adequate and partial reporting of many important items, including descriptions of trial design, the consent process, outcome ascertainment and interpretation. Conclusion: Aspects of RCTs using EHRs are sub-optimally reported. Uptake of the CONSORT-ROUTINE Extension may improve reporting. 12 p.

The present study proposes a Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA) approach for analyzing the performance of 8 selected paper mills of India. The proposed approach named FDEA considers the use of fuzzy weights in the objective function and makes use of alpha cut to decide the fuzzy interval. The efficiency of paper mills is evaluated based on 3 input parameters (raw material, energy consumption, and water consumption) and 4 output parameters (paper production, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions). Further, this paper also analyzes the effect of negative outputs, like BOD, COD, and GHG on the efficiency of paper mills. The study indicates that FDEA can be used efficiently for evaluating the performance of a particular sector under similar conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hannon, Charles
- Abstract
Faculty have a great deal of control over their lectures, lecture notes, and slides. This article discusses a coming wave of recording devices and other classroom technologies--this time wielded by the students--which will test this control and force serious conversations about how to best help students learn, what it means to own an idea, and what is meant when talking about developing a community of learners on campus. The harbinger of this wave is the Livescribe Pulse smart pen, created by an MIT engineer and initially aimed directly at the college student market. The smart pen points a tiny camera at specially marked paper, captures what is written, and converts the writing to PDF files and plain text in what is being called paper-based computing. The pen comes with microphones that capture audio and software that synchronizes it with the written notes. A student can replay an entire lecture at a later time, either by interacting with the written notes or through a computer. The pen's software also makes it easy to share recorded class sessions with other students at the Livescribe website or through Facebook. (Contains 4 endnotes.)

- Abstract
Dyslexia is the most prevalent disorder in the world that causes difficulties with reading, writing, and spelling. Pupils with dyslexia show trouble with their cognitive skills. Various interventions were already introduced for their treatment but dyslexia is still a trending disorder. The available interventions utilized for these pupils' learning open the research area for the current state-of-art of learning interventions for pupils with dyslexia. The results of this Systematic Literature Review show the trending interventions, sensory approaches utilized, and difficulties for pupils with dyslexia learning. Papers published over a period of 5 years were reviewed and their data was collected using a rigid systematic process. Based on the gathered data, several analyses were conducted. The search shows that nowadays, technological-based interventions are trending specifically apps and games, in parallel haptics technology is in its very initial stage. The most predominant sensory approaches were visual and auditory, followed by kinesthetic and tactile, mainly intervening with non-technological and technological interventions. There are still many open issues and research opportunities in the field of learning interventions for pupils with dyslexia, as most researchers utilized the visual and auditory approaches for the feedback and guidance of these pupils, while they lack to utilize the kinesthetic and tactile.

The AUD2IT-algorithm is a tool to structure the data, which is collected during an emergency treatment. The goal is on the one hand to structure the documentation of the data and on the other hand to give a standardised data structure for the report during handover of an emergency patient. AUD2IT-algorithm was developed to provide residents a documentation aid, which helps to structure the medical reports without getting lost in unimportant details or forgetting important information. The sequence of anamnesis, clinical examination, considering a differential diagnosis, technical diagnostics, interpretation and therapy is rather an academic classification than a description of the real workflow. In a real setting, most of these steps take place simultaneously. Therefore, the application of the AUD2IT-algorithm should also be carried out according to the real processes. A big advantage of the AUD2IT-algorithm is that it can be used as a structure for the entire treatment process and also is entirely usable as a handover protocol within this process to make sure, that the existing state of knowledge is ensured at each point of a team-timeout. PR-E-(AUD2IT)-algorithm makes it possible to document a treatment process that, in principle, does not have to be limited to the field of emergency medicine. Also, in the outpatient treatment the PR-E-(AUD2IT)-algorithm could be used and further developed. One example could be the preparation and allocation of needed resources at the general practitioner. The algorithm is a standardised tool that can be used by healthcare professionals of any level of training. It gives the user a sense of security in their daily work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Translation from the French version: https://cloud.parisdescartes.fr/index.php/s/mTAbrXWN4sReA3Q#pdfviewer; The Earth Politics Center (EPC) aims to produce interdisciplinary research of excellence, visible and attractive in France and internationally, in collaboration with stakeholders acting at both local and global levels.With the aim of responding to the scientific and political issues raised by various diagnoses on the state of the planet (growing effects of industrial and agricultural activities on the major balances of the biosphere, disruption of the major water, carbon or nitrogen cycles, etc.), the Center has set itself the mission of developing new ways of knowing and governing these socio-environmental phenomena, while at the same time forming part of a transformed relationship between science and society.Founded in 2019, the EPC has enabled the emergence of an interdisciplinary research community based on the joint exploration of nature and societies by the experimental sciences (physical and biological) and the humanities and social sciences. An Earth challenged by habitability. University and the Challenges of Earth Knowledge, a strategic positioning text, defines its research agenda for the years to come and gives concrete expression to these three years of interdisciplinary dialogue.

137. Big Data and Knowledge Management: A Possible Course to Combine Them Together

Hijazi, Sam
- Abstract
Big data (BD) is the buzz phrase these days. Everyone is talking about its potential, its volume, its variety, and its velocity. Knowledge management (KM) has been around since the mid-1990s. The goals of KM have been to collect, store, categorize, mine, and process data into knowledge. The methods of knowledge acquisition varied from organizational culture to the next. Typical processes converted data into information through traditional databases and then applied business intelligence and data mining methodologies to extract knowledge. With the recent arrival of big data as a disruptive technology and the center of big data, this paper attempts to combine KM and BD fields together. Both areas could help each other tremendously. KM historically, when applied correctly, has helped managers to make decisions faster and better, prevented reinventing the wheel, preserved some talented processes through keeping track of best practices, and prompted innovation due to knowledge sharing and dissemination. BD deals with massive amount of data and does not require a traditional database to be effective. BD has its tools and requirement that can be enhanced through KM. The final aim of this paper is to recreate a model where both big data and knowledge management coexist. The author hopes with a better understanding of both fields to develop a new course where the focus is a productive intersection of knowledge management and big data. To keep up with changing times, this paper will bring the needed awareness of these fields for information systems and business students. [For the full proceedings, see ED575713.]

144. Digital Teacher Evaluations: Principal Expectations of Usefulness & Their Impact on Teaching

Schild, Jonathan Brandon
- Abstract
Principals are charged with the responsibility of conducting teacher evaluations that lead to improved instructional practices, as well as using information gathered during the process to make informed data-driven decisions about teacher performance. This study analyzes the impact digital teacher evaluations have played on this process. Four research questions guided this study: (1) How are digital teacher evaluations meeting Principal expectations for reporting of information to make data-driven decisions about teaching? (2) How are digital teacher evaluations meeting the need for Principals to provide feedback to teachers to improve performance? (3) Do digital teacher evaluations meet Principal utility costs in terms of affordability, ease of use and time? (4) How do principal satisfaction levels of digital teacher evaluations compare to traditional paper and pencil evaluation practices? A mixed method approach was utilized. Thirty high school Principals of a large, urban Catholic diocese participated in the quantitative phase, and four in the qualitative phase. Findings from the study show that Principals see value in the centralized information available through the use of digital teacher evaluations. The findings further show that digital teacher evaluations save Principals time; are effective alternatives for tracking data; and deliver teachers the immediate feedback necessary to improve instruction. Future research is necessary because of the relative newness of digital teacher evaluations. A case study on a specific instrument or school site will add to the literature on the topic.

With the publication of the Data Act proposal in February 2022, the European Commission approached an important milestone in the implementation of the data strategy it had announced two years earlier. The legislative proposal includes a package of measures that are supposed to make more IoT data available to data-driven enterprises. The legislation is expected to bring about more competition in the aftermarkets for IoT devices and related services, more value generation from such data and more techno-logical innovation enabled by access to data. The most innovative and far-reaching regulative instrument applied in this context is, without doubt, the mandatory access rights regime that would facilitate flow of data from private (mostly large) enterprises to other (mostly smaller) enterprises and to the public sector. This regime is accompanied by rules about the necessity and content of commercial contracts that define private entitlements concerning access to as well as use of co-generated IoT data, including statutory requirements concerning fairness, non-discrimination and compensation. This Position Paper primarily addresses the access rights regime and its accompanying rules focusing on contracts regarding access to data. It also briefly touches upon the provisions on data portability, rules for switching between providers and trade secrets. We conclude that the consolidated impact of the access rights regime on IoT device manufacturers, third parties and the data economy at large is hard to predict. At the same time, we argue that the legal positions and entitlements the Data Act would create require further scrutiny and that there is certainly room for clarifications and im-provements in the legislative proposal. The analysis concludes with several specific recommendations.
