	Transparency (humanities) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Transparency, as used in the humanities, implies openness, communication, and accountability.
		When liberal democracies, like USA or the Philippines, are developing their democracy one step further transparency is introduced as a means of holding public officials accountable and fighting corruption.
		When government meetings are open to the press and the public, when budgets and financial statements may be reviewed by anyone, when laws, rules and decisions are open to discussion, they are seen as transparent and there is less opportunity for the authorities to abuse the system in their own interest.

	Radical transparency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moreover, given the logical and linguistic complexity of typical national laws, public participation is difficult despite the radical transparency at the formal parliamentary level.
		It requires decision making to be transparent right from the beginning of the decision making process, while accountability is a process of verifying the quality of decisions or actions after they have been taken.
		The potential of radical transparency to allow corrections and improvements to decision making is likely to be higher when the decision making method is either a consensus decision making method or a democratic decision making method.

		For what is transparent for one audience (e.g., a linguistically and scientifically competent audience) in a given context may not be transparent for another (e.g., a linguistically and artistically competent one) and vice-versa.

	Gasperini v. Center For Humanities, Inc., 517 U.S. 1102 (1996).
		Petitioner Gasperini, a journalist and occasional photographer, loaned 300 original slide transparencies to respondent Center for Humanities, Inc. When the Center lost the transparencies, Gasperini commenced suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, invoking the court's diversity jurisdiction.
		The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, observing that New York law governed the controversy, endeavored to apply CPLR §5501(c) to evaluate the Center's contention that the verdict was excessive.
		Guided by New York Appellate Division decisions reviewing damage awards for lost transparencies, the Second Circuit held that the $450,000 verdict "materially deviates from what is reasonable compensation." The court vacated the judgment entered on the jury verdict and ordered a new trial, unless Gasperini agreed to an award of $100,000.
