Open data – challenges and opportunities for change – IFLA

"This one day event will explore the current state of open data internationally and in Australia, and the underpinning frameworks and infrastructures. Data is foundational to good research, policy development, sharing culture, and innovation. The imperative for open responds to challenges around equitable access to quality data, information integrity, evidence based policy development, and the development of new technologies, such as generative AI, for which trustworthiness is central. Licensing and copyright reform is a foundational requirement for a healthy data ecosystem. For example, creators need to be attributed for their work, and traditional knowledge practices need to be respected and acknowledged."
