Panel 1: The Implications of Open Data [VIDEO]

This panel will present empirical research on open data from two different contexts: (1) Seattle’s past and present releases of data and (2) digitization of North Carolina Supreme Court records. Through these lenses, panelists will consider the legal measures, such as information privacy protections and administrative law remedies, to prevent discrimination and invasions of privacy.

10:45–11:15 AM

 

Break

11:15 AM–12:15 PM

 

Panel 2: Open Data Policy Approaches [VIDEO]

Panelists will discuss differing approaches to preserving privacy in government releases of information. Special attention will be paid to the advantages and disadvantages of certain disclosure limitation methods and how recent advances in data privacy from the fields of law and computation could improve upon real-world models currently used by governments to make data available to the public. Panelists will discuss the inferential possibilities of open data, the limits of inference, and whether risk assessment or legal conditions on data release can best address these problems.

12:15–1:30 PM
