The demand for "transparency" is omnipresent. Transparency is the standard demand of critical observers in almost all areas: in health care, in football, at the university - shortcomings in this respect are diagnosed everywhere, and those responsible are eagerly committed to greater transparency.

Democratisation and participation through transparency is the underlying assumption.
