Not all data sources are created equal

Tranperancy important

Data should be transparent and reusesble but that doesn't not always mean a single

source contains the full truth.

Single source not possible

betterto have few sources so that we can variefy

Open schema

Divided by concept or area

What is truth? Most published research findings are false

Yes if independently verified and validated

Adhoc. Use whatever data is available from whatever source. Single source would be nice

Consider trustworthiness of sources

What is single source of truth anyway

Veracity

Depends what truth is. It's about guiding the user to understand the data and what it's

intended use.

Information integration

Need consistency in metadate standards and data formats to allow data to be findabke

accessible interoperable and reusable (FAIR)

Use multiple sources to cross validate data

Yes single source of truth would be good

Data as a linear single source of truth does not represent all variables

Lot of downloading and combining. Yes

Interoperability

Needs consistency in sharing policies and meta data.

How do you deal with multiple data sources and should there be a single source of truth?

Given that globally more data has been created in the past two years than in the rest of human

history, how can we maintain the currency of data?

We live in an open data age and gave to use it for our benefits instead of blockage.Data may backfire people doing good job. Which can't be measured by dataSlightly concerned: clear policy provides guidelines which mitigate risks and concerns.Unconcerned. Let the data tell the story. Be it good or badData and information can always be abused...making more data open improves our ability to discern the truth and develop understanding and engagement ‑ so not concernedSlightly concerned because of potential unforeseen negative impact of the data that was openly releasedMy work. Research shows that openness is the best way to archive dataNot at all concerned ‑ science will correct itself. Truth finding isn't concerning.It's about innovation. You don't know what can come out of the data or how to use it.I am not concerned, because privacy in the age of internet means nothing.Not concerned ‑ data is out there and will continue to be for generations to comeInterpretation of data could variable hence see concernsFraudNeutral: all artefacts have good and bad applicationsRisk management

Policy should clearly specify the parameters of anonymised data and the risk and concerns of re‑identifying data.Access should define the ability to re‑identifybalance of risk and benefitGood governance is not a guarantee! People often work around governance and policies!TrustEducationAnaytial capabilityIn some cases eg research we would seek persons permission to reidentify so policy needs to be sensibleGood govarnenceAnonymised to scale prevents reidentificationYou mean re‑identify de‑identified data. Anonymised data is by definition not re‑identifiableRefine the anonymizing process to ensure that data cannot be re‑identified.Good data managementthere is large amount of research on this that should be relied upon (eg k‑anonymity)Move past concern! Use accessible toolsNeed to do the first step ‑ anonymaization correctlyUse better anonymising algorithms.There are increasingly advanced tools to manage thus.

How can we address the concern of re-identifying anonymised data?

Easier to examine use once available

Place based needs may drive particular value eg disaster resilience

Up keeping with technology and feedback

Click through Terms and Conditions with email, name and institute

Users should determine their needs

This will change over time. Need a comprehensive 'library' of open data from which people

can select. You wont always kniw which data can be valuable

Track the usage of current open data (starting by mining interaction logs with data.

Qld.gov.au and associated API)

Look at emerging usage in other jurisdictions

Open data is 'for' the user

Collaboration

Research on research

Yes, web log analysis. Click stream analytics will reveal the usage patterns.

Maintain open lines of communication

Creating a community of practice

Regular pollev for different cohorts?? To understand demand *great tool

Surveys.

Tail should never wag the dog.

Is there a way to track and monitor what business and the community needs in terms of data?
