Notes

1 The metaphor has even given name to the non-profit organization The Sunlight Foundation, which has worked towards transparency in government since 2006. Their mission description is as good as any illustration of the core idea of the implicit theory of transparency: “The Sunlight Foundation is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that uses civic technologies, open data, policy analysis and journalism to make our government and politics more accountable and transparent to all. Our vision is for technology to enable more complete, equitable and effective democratic participation. Our overarching goal is to achieve changes in the law to require real-time, online transparency for all government information”. https://sunlightfoundation.com/ Website visited 14 January 2021.

6 The fact that a study published 2013, just eight years ago at the time of writing, can justifiably be labelled “early” says something about how new, uncharted, and underdeveloped this research area is.
