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. 

9:00–9:45 AM  

TUTORIAL – LITERATURE REVIEW PRESENTATION BY:

PANEL 1: THE IMPLICATIONS OF OPEN DATA

This panel will present empirical research on open data from two different contexts: (1) Seattle’s past and present releases of data and (2) digitization of North Carolina Supreme Court records. Through these lenses, panelists will consider the legal measures, such as information privacy protections and administrative law remedies, to prevent discrimination and invasions of privacy.

BREAK

PANEL 2: OPEN DATA POLICY APPROACHES

Panelists will discuss differing approaches to preserving privacy in government releases of information. Special attention will be paid to the advantages and disadvantages of certain disclosure limitation methods and how recent advances in data privacy from the fields of law and computation could improve upon real-world models currently used by governments to make data available to the public. Panelists will discuss the inferential possibilities of open data, the limits of inference, and whether risk assessment or legal conditions on data release can best address these problems
