HUB NEWS
It’s summertime, and the living may be easy, but Hub staff are hard at work analyzing data governance. In early July, the team of Thomas Struett and Adam Zable, with help from Siaka Togola and Susan Aaronson, published the second iteration of our Global Data Governance Metric. The metric covers public, personal, and proprietary data for 68 countries and the European Union, up from 51 plus the EU. We developed 26 indicators (evidence) of data governance from strategies, laws and regulations, structural changes, ethical and human rights codes, public participation, and international efforts to coordinate data governance. You can find our report and country mapping here, the downloadable data using the same link at the top right-hand corner of the page, and our background and guide here. Please send any comments on the metric to ajzable@gmail.com, or use the feedback form located at the bottom of every page.
Adam Zable presented the metric report on July 27 to the Data Stewards Network of the GovLab at NYU.
Prof. Susan Aaronson presented a critique of current approaches to national and international data governance at a July 27 conference at CIGI, sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation.
