View the CARE principles
The CARE principles for indigenous data governance are intended to provide guidance to data-focused projects involving indigenous peoples.
CARE is an acronym:
- Collective benefit
- Data ecosystems shall be designed and function in ways that enable indigenous peoples to derive benefit from the data
- Authority to control
- Indigenous peoples’ rights and interests in Indigenous data must be recognised and their authority to control such data be empowered
- Responsibility
- Those working with Indigenous data have a responsibility to share how those data are used to support indigenous peoples’ self determination and collective benefit
- Ethics
- Indigenous peoples’ rights and wellbeing should be the primary concern at all stages of the data life cycle and across the data ecosystem
The CARE principles complement the FAIR data principles.
