Ethics of Information Products Development in Digital Revolution
Vol.13,No.1(2021)
Purpose – The paper is aimed at a new interpretation of ethics of information products development in digital revolution within information ethics.
Design/Methodology/Approach – The starting point is based on theoretical analyses of models of human information behavior in digital environment and analyses of perspectives of main authors of information ethics and development of information products. We emphasize ethics of development of information products as sociocultural and collaborative practices and the role of digital tools. We also mention ethical principles of research and production of information products in digital environment and digital information ethics. We apply methods of analyses and modelling of information products in the digital environment and in the context of information ethics.
Results – The production of information products in digital environment is interpreted as a sociocultural information practice with ethical dimension. We determine the ethics of production and ethical problems of products development with the emphasis on values of information, collaboration and visualization. We propose the analysis of values and value-sensitive and participatory design of information products.
Originality/Value – We present a new conceptual model of information products in the context of digital information ethics, including new components of intuition, verification, collaboration and context linking. We present proposals for development of information products with the inclusion of ethical factors and cultivation of the ethical awareness of authors and information professionals.
