Quote / Position

“The CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance are people and purpose-oriented, reflecting the crucial role of data in advancing Indigenous innovation and self-determination. These principles complement the existing FAIR principles encouraging open and other data movements to consider both people and purpose in their advocacy and pursuits.”

Context

CARE Principles = Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, Ethics. Drafted at International Data Week and Research Data Alliance Plenary, Gaborone, Botswana, November 2018. Published in Data Science Journal (Carroll et al. 2020, 1,808 citations). Translations: Spanish, Vietnamese, Māori, German, Khmer.

The “FAIR + CARE” framing is the substantive synthesis: CARE complements FAIR rather than replacing it. GIDA’s framing: “Existing principles within the open data movement (e.g. FAIR) primarily focus on characteristics of data that will facilitate increased data sharing among entities while ignoring power differentials and historical contexts.”
