The Declaration was built collaboratively, working with data practitioners from public, private, academic, civil-society and voluntary organisations, ensuring that this is not an imposed or ‘top down’ approach, but one which truly builds on the expertise of people from a variety of areas.
Furthermore, we live in a world where we morocco rcs data cannot always be entirely sure of the motives of data collectors and processors nor what they will do with our data. Where is a lack of transparency or trust, there is unease and sometimes uncovered examples of data misuse.
The Declaration is a positive starting point for countering some of these problems.
We welcome Open Data Manchester’s Declaration for responsible and intelligent data practice and look forward to discovering how it changes the open data landscape in Greater Manchester and perhaps further afield.
