The Ethics Group is currently on hiatus. If you're interested in re-starting the group as a facilitator or co-facilitator, please get in touch with the LD4 Community Steering Group at ld4-steering@googlegroups.com, which provides support for LD4 Affinity Groups. |
Rationale
The primary focus of this affinity group is to call attention to ethical considerations around ongoing and newly proposed work using Linked Data technologies. A core guiding principle of the group is that ethics should be a forethought, not an afterthought, of any initiative as a way to not only potentially reduce harm, but to prevent further harm. The group serves as a space for exploration and discussion of the ethical implications (both positive and negative) of linked data and work towards developing a Code of Ethics and toolkit of resources to provide a critical and ethical framework for designing linked data projects. The group aims to act in an advisory capacity to the LD4 community and beyond.
