While the importance of data is growing as the fuelof the new data economy, also the role of the data ecosystemsis growing. The new data ecosystems enables the use, reuse andenrichment of big data sets by or together with third parties.However, in the context of technology management, the governanceof these kinds of data ecosystems raises ethical questionsand issues that should be acknowledged by researchers andpractitioners. This study reviews the extant literature regardingthe given advice about ethical considerations. The method ofsystematic literature study is used to collect the primary articles(N=20). The selected articles are analyzed and themed accordingto reoccurring themes: privacy, accountability, ownership,accessibility, and motivation. The results show the discussion isfragmented and concrete ethical guidelines are lacking. Thus,this study requires more work for governing data ecosystems inan ethical way.
