MozFest 2022

Data commons: rule patterns and infrastructure
Language: English (mozilla)

With the growing awareness of the effects of the privatisation of data, the quest for data governance models that are designed with public values in mind is thriving. The work on the governance of the commons provides a promising point of departure for the discussion on the collective management of data.

In this session, we will to focus on the operational questions concerning data commons: what are possible rules for gathering, transforming, accessing and sharing data?

Stakeholders determine the rules for a specific setting collectively and he process for determining the rules in specific circumstances is central in the study of the commons. We will leave the organisational and legal questions aside and focus on the rule patterns for the data commons. This is a more technical matter, especially when the
enforcement of thes rules in data infrastructure is concerned.

We welcome contributions from different angles: work on data access rules, but also broader work on distributed data and computation infrastructure can be highly relevant.

Why did you choose that space? How does your session align with the space description?:

-

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session? What if 30 participants attend? What if there are 3?:

With three participants, we will have more room for an interactive discusion. With 30 participants, a more structured collection of ideas and proposals will be appropriate. We have extensive experience with co-creation sessions of various sizes.

What happens after MozFest? We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after MozFest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

We consider the MozFest session as a startingpoint for hopefully many sessions to come that we will host ourselves.
