Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov)
Indigenous community members and decision-makers are the first authority on and most important IDSov resource for any data activity
In addition to what community members are asking for, you can inform yourself and prepare yourself for your work with additional resources on IDSov:
- Inuit Circumpolar Council’s Circumpolar Inuit Protocols for Ethical and Equitable engagement (2021) (Inuit land)
- Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami’s National Inuit Strategy for Research (2007) (Canadian Inuit Land)
- First Nations Information Governance Center’s First Nations Principles of OCAP (1998) (Canadian First Nations land)
- Alaska Federation of Natives’ Guidelines for Research (1993) (Alaska Native land)
- Global Indigenous Data Alliance’s CARE Principles (2020) (pan-Indigenous)
- United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007) (pan-Indigenous)
IDSov Tags for Metadata (Local Context)
About: Local Contexts is a global initiative that supports Indigenous communities with tools that can reassert cultural authority in heritage collections and data. By focusing on Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property and Indigenous Data Sovereignty, Local Contexts helps Indigenous communities repatriate knowledge and gain control over how data is collected, managed, displayed, accessed, and used in the future.
Data Publication
The objective of this activity is to provide a report and guide on data publication and citation for Arctic researchers. This would provide the Arctic community with a resource to help researchersthem to understand developments in this area, including DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers). This initiative will be carried out jointly with a project already established under the SCAR Standing Committee on Antarctic Data Management.
A Brief Guide to Publishing Data for the Polar Research Community (1.0). https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15167022
The initial results of this project are being hosted on the British Antarctic Survey website.
