        <p>The article reveals the methodology for determining the values that should be taken into account when designing digital platforms that ensure interaction between the state and citizens. An online survey was conducted. Using the obtained data, a network of values is constructed and visualized, supplemented with digital qualities of personality and competence. Their correlations with the indicators of active and passive digital behavior of citizens are calculated. The article reveals the value determinants of the population's governability through the media and during the quarantine period, as well as the frequency of participation in electronic hearings on topical issues of the country's life. The obtained results provide empirical confirmation of the recursive three-element structure of value-oriented design. It is shown that taking into account the value qualities associated with the target result of IT technology allows you to significantly limit their number for use in VSD.</p>

      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>Advances in computing, information and communication technology and the computerization of
society have created and continue to generate vast amounts of diverse information and have made it
possible to use it economically in a variety of areas of daily life. To take advantage of these benefits
requires a digital transformation of "people, data, processes" and institutions across the social and/or
organizational hierarchy.</p>
      <p>In Russia, digital transformation turned into a practical plane when the Digital Economy of the
Russian Federation program was adopted on July 28, 2017. Currently, it is developing in 7 areas. One
of them is presented by the federal project "Digital Public Administration", which aims to provide
citizens and organizations with access to public services and services in digital form, the development
of e-government infrastructure, and the introduction of platform solutions. As expected in the
Passport of the project, its implementation "will allow a final transition to electronic interaction of
citizens and organizations with the state" and will make it "more convenient".</p>
      <p>
        Key principles and design elements that should be taken into account when creating a digital
government are discussed in the World Bank report [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
        ]. Digital platforms are a necessary component
in many of them. Let us draw attention to the principle of providing digital government services,
including user-oriented service design. It "should reflect the needs of a wide range of citizens and not
adapt everything to one template". Perspectives are seen "in individualized services with a high
degree of personalization" [1, p. 12].
      </p>
      <p>Let us distract from the "purely" technical or economic aspects of the digital government and look
at it somewhat from the other side. The union of computer technologies and knowledge collected in
the social sciences forms a new research direction - "Digital Socio-Humanities". In it, we highlight the
problem of the influence of the socio-political nature of digital technologies on the governability of
the public sphere.</p>
      <p>
        As digitalization develops wide and deep, "the platform society" is approved and the "value
centric design" of the digital formats that implement it becomes relevant [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
        ]. If previously the
emphasis was placed on achieving the required functionality, then now a recommendation is added to
it to take into account the values of the parties involved in the interaction. Taking this into account,
the purpose of our publication is to identify the value component of digital interaction between the
state and citizens in the context of value-oriented design.

      <title>2. Literature review</title>
      <p>
        The importance of taking values into account in the interaction of the state and citizens is noted in
many publications. Values are the "core of the most important guiding components of political
activity", ideology, political culture, political system [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
        ]. Traditionally common political and basic
personal values are distinguished.
      </p>
      <p>
        Political values include: Equality of Opportunity, Economic Individualism, Free Enterprise System
[
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
        ]; Equal Opportunity, Limited Government, Traditional Family Values, Moral Tolerance [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
        ];
Liberty, Equality, Economic Security, and Social Order [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>
        ]. This list is not exhaustive and other
groupings can be cited. As an example of basic personal values, we give a list of S. Schwartz, which
includes: Power, Achievement, Hedonism, Stimulation, Self-direction, Universalism, Benevolence,
Tradition, Conformity, Security [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>
        ]. An overview of the work on the relationship between the values
of citizens and political behavior is presented in article [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>
        ]. Its empirical part also confirms "the
relationship between the basic values of [Russian] respondents and their voting preferences [in March
2012]".
      </p>
      <p>Digitalization leads to a greater individualization of relations with citizens, so universal values are
detailed to the level of personal traits. The list of their constituent groups and indicators is not
constant and can be adapted to the specific problem being studied. Note that we are not aware of
studies that reveal the inclusion of "digital" traits in the network of basic personality traits.</p>
      <p>
        The limit case of "digital" individualization is achieved using recommender systems for targeted
impact. There are known cases of their use for managing the choice of citizens based on "big" data
(for example, [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">9</xref>
        ]). Several publications are devoted to the description of this approach, including
computer programm [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>
        ], as well as recordings of the speech of the former head of the company who
applied it [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">11</xref>
        ]. The algorithm predicts the personal types of citizens and their political preferences,
which allows you to form psychologically individualized messages in social networks or other forms
of electronic interaction. It seemed that " government, internet provider… can infer their personal
characteristics more accurately than their closest family members". As a result, there is a risk that
"people might distrust or reject digital technologies" [12, p. 1039]. For its resolution, it has yet to be
developed "a coherent set of legal, ethical and technical frameworks to regulate the collection, storage
and exchange of such [big] data" [9, p. 14]. Given these limitations, our publication uses the detailing
of universal values to the level of personal traits.
      </p>
      <p>
        Digital platforms are a modern tool for implementing electronic interaction. Depending on the area
of activity, "platform interactions" cover news and journalism (social media platforms), urban
transport (ride - hailing platforms), healthcare ("integration of applications and technologies to
provide a customized, end-to-end, Healthcare solution"; see
https://www.fingent.com/healthcareapplication-platforms/), education (online learning platform) and other areas. According to one of the
definitions, "a digital platform is a system of algorithmized mutually beneficial relationships of a
significant number of independent participants in the economy (or sphere of activity) carried out in a
single information environment, leading to a reduction in transaction costs due to the use of a package
of digital technologies for working with data…" [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        The object of our work is electronic interaction between the state and citizens. One of the World
Bank's 12 projections of the impact of the latest technologies notes that "more political parties will
develop more of their policy and choose more of their candidates through dedicated digital platforms"
[
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>
        ]. Digitalization has led governments to incorporate citizens into their functioning. It realized by
online service delivery platforms, open data portals, complaint redressal etc. Very important form of
digital platforms that involves citizens is Digital Citizen Engagement platforms which is «the use of
new media/digital ICTs to create or enhance the communication channels» [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>
        ]. Russia has such
platform called Active Citizen. This project was created as a means for conducting electronic voting
on urban development issues among various groups of Muscovites. The Active Citizen platform now
(29.05.2021) has 5110682 users, who have expressed 158315212 opinions and been invited to vote on
nearly 4954 issues. Smaller systems are developing in other regions of the country. As an example of
digital platforms created and introduced in Russia on a national scale, we will call the digital voting
system with blockchain. In a single voting day of 2021, remote e-voting will be used in 7 regions.
      </p>
      <p>
        Theoretical principles of connection between digital technologies and public administration were
proposed in the works of L. V. Smorgunov [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">16</xref>
        ] and D. Johnson [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">17</xref>
        ]. The first of them gives "the
political ontology of purely procedural fairness of blockchain technology, which relies ... on the
technical and social immediacy of cooperation and joint production". In the second publication,
digital platforms can act as " a dialogic forum" to increase civic participation, public discussion and
democratic competition. Thus, the "danger of neglecting constitutional values" is reduced.
      </p>
      <p>
        Formal ontologies are used to unify the representation of knowledge about the subject area. By
definition, it is "a special type of semantic representations that can be defined as a model of observed
reality, or as a hierarchical form of knowledge representations that reflects the structure of observed
reality, or as a logical theory that allows you to systematize the categories of reality and / or the
values…" [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>
        ]. The digital platform reference ontology is supposed to foster "a better understanding
of digital platform functionality, better communication between stakeholders and eventually may
facilitate future research and development of digital platforms" [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref19">19</xref>
        ]. Proposed in this work (other
materials are also available on the http://model-a-platform.com website) ontology generalizes
knowledge in UML extension notation. It includes detailed diagrams of the elements of the digital
platform (mainly commercial) and the connections between them. They are clearly technical and lack
both a value component and such an important element of interaction as recursion [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        Design techniques and human values are combined within an approach known as "value sensitive
design" (VSD) [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>
        ]. Its feature is the integration "human values in technologies from the very start
of the design process" [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">22</xref>
        ]. Examples of applying VSD include such values as accountability,
transparency, democracy and justice [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref23">23</xref>
        ]. The peculiarity of our work is that it takes into account
"digital" restrictions on social interactions and the values of the level of human traits.
      </p>
      <p>We summarize the completed review. Values are an important element in the interaction of the
state and citizens. Digital platforms are a modern tool for organizing such interactions. VSD enables
values to be incorporated into digital platforms. Thus, it is initially necessary to identify a list of
values that are important in a specific area of interaction. A further part of our publication is devoted
to this.</p>

      <title>3. Data and methodology</title>
      <p>The work is based on empirical data on the relationship between the value traits of Russian
citizens and their behavior in some situations of digital public administration and state governability.
The parties to this connection form two main sections of the developed questionnaire. In the auxiliary
third part ("hard data") socio-demographic information is collected (sex, age, level of education,
income). The list of main indicators is given in Table 3Table 3. Let us explain the content and
methodology of the first two sections in more detail.</p>
      <p>
        In our study, the list of values is selected from the work [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref24">24</xref>
        ]. They are expressed through 24
personality traits, which are combined into 4 groups (entrepreneurial (hereinafter - group 1),
communicative (2), "a good person" traits ("personal"), (4) and collectivist (5)) of 6 elements each.
Following the original methodology, correlations between indicators are first calculated, then they are
visualized in the form of a network, finally, its quantitative characteristics are calculated and
interpreted. This algorithm is used for reference qualities and self-evaluation.
      </p>
      <p>Further, it is accepted by us as the basis for identifying and building links not only between values,
but also their links with interesting indicators of digital public administration. So that the total number
of indicators does not become too large and difficult for respondents to perceive, we limited ourselves
to the four most important traits in each of the groups. The selection took into account the
experimental results of comparing the network of values of student in cities of federal significance of
the Russian Federation.</p>

          <p>
            Taking into account the stated focus of our work, some changes were made to the list of values. A
fifth group has been added to the original groups, reflecting "digital" traits (group 3). It includes 3 of 7
attributes of the "digital" culture [
            <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>
            ]. Other indicators of this culture are universal, not necessarily
"digital". Thus, "agility and flexibility" and "open culture" are already part of the communicative
group and "a good person", and "collaboration" - in the model of "digital" competence (see below).
The "customer centricity" excluded because business applications are not considered. For better
understanding by respondents, the names of the three attributes included in the group and their
explanations are slightly changed. In addition, the "algorithmic" traits is added. Thus, the formed new
group contains indicators that concentrate on its "digital" orientation. Their list is as follows:
- "algorithmic" ("step-by-step", if-then-otherwise" type thinking in solving problems");
- "datacentric" ("emphasis on the use of diverse data and analytics in decision-making");
- "cybermen" ("obsessed" with the study and application of new digital technologies);
- "innovative" (the predominance of risky, creative-destructive thinking). Unlike the previous
three, this quality is less specialized in "digit".
          </p>
          <p>The resulting list of personality qualities and their designations are given in the Table 3. Such a
separation is made for greater clarity. To obtain quantitative values in the questionnaire, respondents
were asked to present and evaluate on a scale from 0 to 5 a person who could "act as a positive
standard in life or be closest to such a standard... for imitation" ("positive standard"). Then the
procedure was repeated for a negative standard (that is, "a person whom the respondent did not want
to resemble in any way") and in relation to himself ("I myself").</p>
          <p>
            The first section of the questionnaire also contains questions about the "digital" competence of
respondents. They are based on the Conceptual Reference Model DigComp 2.0 [
            <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref26">26</xref>
            ]. It includes 5
competencies, from which we selected the following: literacy in the field of information and data,
communication and collaboration in a network environment, information security. The two remaining
areas (digital content creation and problem solving) are priority components of digital competence.
However, the relevant knowledge and skills are not yet widespread among the population and
therefore are not included in the questionnaire. We limited ourselves to a simpler and more
understandable assessment of the respondent's overall computer skills.
          </p>
          <p>
            The second section of the questionnaire consists of three blocks of questions related to digital
public administration and governability. Most of them are chosen in such a way as to include direct
relations with citizens. In the first block, they act as passive consumers of various electronic public
services and as active participants in electronic hearings on topical issues of state/city/district life. It
determined the frequency of use/participation, satisfaction with the services provided and the
completeness of the information provided. These issues reveal important components of
egovernment and "digital" participation. [
            <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref27">27</xref>
            ]
          </p>
          <p>Another block contains questions related to the governability of the population through the media.
It turned out whose opinion (official/informal) dominates when people make decisions in a number
of life situations. In particular, when buying currency or saving funds in rubles, when choosing or
changing a place of work, when voting in elections. A peculiar case for governability, which is also
included in the questionnaire, was the degree of compliance by respondents with the official
recommendation to be at home and other self-restrictions during the COVID-19 "high readiness"
period.</p>
          <p>
            Finally, in the third block, the opinion of respondents was found out about the impact of
digitalization on public administration and governability. This includes questions about indicators
from the World Bank list [
            <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">28</xref>
            ], such as control over corruption, the ability of the government to
effectively manage resources, the current level of development of feedback mechanisms from the
population to the Russian government. In addition, a particular interest was the influence on the
change in political state governability.
          </p>
          <p>The developed questionnaire was available online in May - June 2020; 153 people responded; the
snowball technique was used. The average age of respondents was 30 years; 50.7% has a higher
education diploma.</p>

      <p>The material in this section is divided into two parts. The first examines and compares value
networks. In the second, their connections with public administration indicators are revealed. In both
cases, a list of values is defined and discussed in the context of the possibility of their subsequent use

scored in the respondents' questionnaires. According to the average values of each group, the groups
are ranked in the following order (descending):
- communicative - 4.0;
- entrepreneurial and collectivist - 3.8 each;
- the qualities of "a good person" - 3.7;
- "digital" - 3.4.</p>
      <p>For the case of self-evaluation, the values of the group quality weights are noticeably smaller and
the order changes:
- qualities of "a good person" and collectivist - 3.3 each;
- communicative - 3.1;
- entrepreneurial - 3.0;
- "digital" - 2.7.</p>
      <p>As can be seen, in the case of self-evaluation, the total weight of qualities in groups is noticeably
less than for a positive standard. A similar observation is true for bond densities. For a positive
standard, it is almost 2 times higher than for self-evaluation: 0.542 versus 0.284. Table 1 and Table 1
show the densities within and between groups for the two cases considered. Indicators of "digital"
qualities and qualities of "a good person" differ more (in difference between a positive standard and
self-evaluation) from other groups, and entrepreneurial ones in the smallest. As for the first two, the
"digit" is still being fixed in the structure of values, and is not easy for a "good person" to integrate
into the current realities of life. Another thing is entrepreneurial. Here, the differences between the
positive standard and self-evaluation, both within the group, and its connections with communicative
and collectivist traits are practically absent.
are consistent with the existing practice of taking them into account in the design of many digital
systems. Opinions on the impact of digitalization have proved useful only for descriptive information
and are not considered further.</p>
      <p>Let's pay attention to the part of the figure that is surrounded by a rectangular continuous frame.
This area includes "boundary" values. They are of main interest in our work, since they are directly

      <p>Let us turn to indicators of electronic participation. First, descriptive statistics about them are
given, then their relationship with values is revealed. The values for the passive form are as follows
(use of electronic public services): satisfaction with the services provided - 2.8 (close to the grading of
the assessment "rather satisfied"); frequency of use - 1.3 (about "rarely"). None of the "passive"
indicators is statistically significantly related to the values of the list we use. The values of the
indicators of the active form of electronic participation are as follows: satisfaction (completeness of
information on state/municipal sites) - 1.7 (the estimate lies between "rather not satisfied" and
"uncertain attitude"); frequency of participation is 0.6 (between "never" and "very rarely"). The
frequency of participation is inversely associated with the following value treats: entrepreneurial
("Pragmatic", "Purposeful"), communicative ("Understanding the needs of another...", "Agile..."),
"qualities of a good person" ("Adequately assessing himself", "Truthful"). These links are highlighted
by a dashed oval in the center of the figure. Thus, the initial list of 20 qualities, as in our study, is
significantly narrowed. The obvious link between the frequency of participation and the completeness
of the information was confirmed. For our respondents, the identified links should be taken into
account in the value-sensitive design of digital platforms with an active form of electronic
participation. The above qualities (with two highest gradations) are expressed in 73.3%, 71.7%,
69.3% of respondents who are respectively members of the communicative, "a good person" and
entrepreneurial groups. That is, the digital platform becomes value-related with a significant audience
of users.</p>
      <p>Let's move on to the governability of the population through the media. As indicated above, in the
questionnaire this issue was clarified for 4 situations: when buying currency, when choosing a job and
voting in elections; a case of behavior of people during the "high readiness" period is separately
highlighted. There is a high positive correlation between the first three situations. Voting in elections
is connected with satisfaction with the completeness of the information provided and here people take
into account official opinion to a greater extent compared to two other situations. In general, in the
first three cases, there was no statistically significant association between the increase in the
proportion of official information taken into account in decision-making and their value traits. It can
be assumed that the population has already developed a certain attitude towards external sources of
information.</p>
      <p>Separately from these three cases, there is an indicator of governability in the first months of the
"covid" quarantine. Compliance by respondents with official recommendations is associated with 6
values. Five of them are similar in sign and direction to those identified for the frequency of active
participation (all except "Pragmatic"). The sixth quality was the connection with "Datacentric" which
is part of the group of "digital" values. This quality is important for 59.3% of respondents.
Figuratively speaking, events in the spring of 2020 "reached the depths of the soul", when the
importance of obtaining operational information was keenly felt. In this case, as in the previous case,
we can talk about a significant reduction number of values for their inclusion in VSD.</p>

      <title>5. Conclusion</title>
      <p>Thus, the following main results are obtained in the work:
- The content of the recursive three-element structure of VSD is supplemented by a
recommendation on the need to take into account the possible shift of values to a positive standard
during the operation of the designed digital technologies. It is based on the revealed difference
between the positive standard and self-evaluation.</p>
      <p>- The VSD approach is supplemented by a provision on the importance of taking into account the
values associated with the target result of IT technology; the methodology implementing it is
proposed and disclosed on specific cases.</p>
      <p>- An empirical sociological study of electronic participation of the population and governability
through the media was conducted. It is shown that the implementation of our methodology allows to
significantly limit the number of values for accounting in VSD.</p>
      <p>The results of the work allow us to propose some areas of further research. So, the question arises
what and how values are taken into account in existing digital platforms; are they set initially in the
engineering specification or implemented "by default", as a property of used information technologies
(for example, blockchain). The next step is to develop recursive algorithms to give digital platforms
the desired values with the ability to adapt in the process of functioning to changes in their severity,
composition and random effects. Finally, the ultimate case of taking into account values is their use in
recommender systems. It is still restrained by ethical and legal restrictions on the use of personal data.</p>
