The use of general descriptive names, registered names, trademarks, service marks, etc. This chapter explains the rationale behind the book. It provides basic definitions of the concept of the sharing economy as well as the primary meanings related to the subject of the analysis undertaken in the subsequent chapters. This Introduction also includes a description of the main benefits of the analysis of the sharing economy from a European perspective. The project management team has produced a data management plan as a separate deliverable, outlining the types of data collected, their storage, and re-use.
Specifically, the data management plan addresses how the data is to be made FAIR: findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable. As a participating project of the Horizon Open Research Data Pilot, the quantitative data which the reports are based on, will be made openly available under an appropriate license, such as Creative Commons-By, after the end of the project. The data will be made available through the project website in an accessible format such as CSV or XLSX on a request basis through an online form.
In addition, we are publishing the data in at least one of the institutional repositories of a participating institution. Sufficient documentation will ensure that potential interested parties will be able to re-use the data quickly and efficiently. The chapter is the final one in the volume of collected papers aiming to discuss the sharing economy in Europe.
