2020 LD4 Conference on Linked Data in Libraries

This session will not be recorded.
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 for the group stands on the idea 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. As a relatively new group, members aim to act in an advisory capacity to the LD4 community and beyond.
