[CODATA-international] Digital Feudalism

Actually I was going to make the opposite point. I think a major issue
in discussing data governance issues is the lack of awareness of
different large-scale data communities and their overlap and points of
interface. So the UN now has its "World Data Forum" which is focused on
sustainable development data and statistics; ISC/CODATA/WDS/RDA have
"International Data Week" focused on scientific data; the growing
community of Chief Data Officers/CIOs have their own set of meetings;
the data science community now has a number of very large international
data science conferences; the Earth observation community has the Group
on Earth Observations; the health/medical communities have their own set
of conferences; the disaster data community is very scattered across
public and private sector and academic stakeholders; etc. Many of them
approach data governance/rights issues quite differently. The research
community generates data used by other communities, and vice versa.
Addressing these multiple uses, taking into account a wider group of
stakeholders and needs, is vital to ensure that each community doesn't
just optimize its policies/approaches on its core constituents, but also
promotes cross-sector/cross-jurisdictional use. This is particularly
important because certain aspects of data governance, such as IP and
copyright law and the activities of groups like the World Intellectual
Property Organization, do affect all of these communities, and they may
need to coordinate or collaborate in ensuring their views are
represented. Many years ago, for example, ICSU/CODATA played a role in
the World Summits on the Information Society, ensuring that scientific
perspectives on the development of the Internet and the digital divide
were represented (alongside the government/private sector Internet
interests).
Cheers, Bob
