Data Democracy
We are in an era where communities can interact with data in ways that were impossible to imagine a few short decades ago. While there are undoubted public benefits from accumulating, federating and aggregating data, both government and private institutional data use has in recent times been highly controversial, raising important questions about access, rights and community interest in the new digital and geospatial age.
Commissioned by the Centre for eResearch and Digital Information (CeRDI) at Federation University Australia, this short documentary aims to inform and inspire discussion on the issues of fairness, access, sharing and communicating data in the technological era.
It features Paul Box (CSIRO), Associate Professor Peter Dahlhaus (CeRDI), George Fong (ex-Internet Australia), Professor Richard Sinnott (University of Melbourne) and Dr Gillian Sparkes (Victorian Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability).
