Dear list, the issue of ethics and data has addressed a few times on this list. On that note I would like to share our recently published Data Ethics Decision Aid (DEDA). Commissioned by the City of Utrecht (NL) and developed in close cooperation with their data analysts and project managers, the Utrecht Data School developed a process and tools to trace ethical issues in (municipal) data projects. DEDA's lead developer Aline Franzke, who holds an MA in Applied Ethics, also serves on AoIR's ethics committee. DEDA is mainly a large table poster (A0) which is used to structurally inquire the process of a data project and its various implications for values, social impact, ownership, accountability etc. DEDA also provides a manual and an online questionnaire to guide and document ethical decision making. You can find DEDA here: http://dataschool.nl/research/deda/?lang=en For questions please mail to info@dataschool.nl The Utrecht Data School is a platform for teaching digital methods and data practices and a platform for investigating datafication in public management, (public) media and public space. Situated at the intersection of academia and societal sectors, the Utrecht Data School facilitates teaching, research projects and knowledge transfer. http://dataschool.nl/?lang=en See our latest publication: The Datafied Society.
