Dr. Amen Ra Mashariki, City of New York’s Chief Analytics Officer in charge of the Mayor’s Office of Data Analytics open the conference with a keynote address on November 19th.

The conference addresses two related issues. The first is a set of normative challenges associated with the open data movement, including e.g. privacy and other civil liberties, equitable access to data, and what counts as public interest. The second addresses obligations of private/commercial holders of data to make their holdings available for public and research purposes. Panels will include leading thinkers and actors representing a range of perspectives and positions.
