Definition of value-sensitive design.

(verbatim from the paper)

*"VSD employs three methods :

• conceptual investigations drawing on moral philosophy, which identify stakeholders, fundamental values, and trade-offs among values pertinent to the design

• empirical investigations using social-science methods to uncover how stakeholders think about and act with respect to the values involved in the system

• technical investigations which explore the links between specific technical decisions and the values and practices they aid and hinder" *
