[CODATA-international] Invitation to participate in the CODATA Data Ethics Working Group

[Asha CODATA]

Dear colleagues,

An invitation is hereby extended to join the CODATA Data Ethics Working
Group <https://codata.org/initiatives/working-groups/data-ethics/>. The
growing application of big data in scientific research, can raise some
ethical challenges, particularly in relation to privacy, transparency and
openness. In order to address these challenges, the Data Ethics Working
Group was established in 2022 with the endorsement and guidance of CODATA
Executive Committee.

The objective of the Data Ethics Working Group is to explore the landscape
and to make recommendations on how CODATA activities can contribute to
tackling issues of data ethics.  In particular, the Working Group aims to
establish a basic consensus for further activities and research on data
ethics principles and a data ethics framework which will help CODATA
advance its mission in championing global open data exchange and
applications in alignment with the UNESCO recommendations on open science.

To achieve this aim, we plan to conduct a survey on research and practice
of data ethics in countries, regions and international organisations around
the world, then carry out a systematic analysis, and develop a consensus
concept and content of data ethics. During this period, we plan to publish
journal articles, a White Paper on data ethics, and make presentations at
data-related conferences and fora, such as International Data Week in
2022/2023.


Any colleague interested in joining this working group is welcome to
contact:

·      Professor Lianglin Hu; email: hull at cnic.cn

and / or

·      Professor Johannes John-Langba; email: JohnLangbaJ at ukzn.ac.za



In not more than 250 words, please state clearly (in your email response)
your interests and potential contribution to the Data Ethics Working Group
for consideration by 28 May 2022.

Best regards,

Asha

On behalf of the CODATA Data Ethics Working Group
