Forum E-consultation on ethical, legal and policy aspects of data sharing affecting farmers
Day 1: Major challenges from a policy legal and ethical perspective, preventing smallholder farmers benefiting from data sharing
I think making data freely available is the direction to go however, there still exists barriers that need to be surmounted which include;
-The gap between information that anyone can use and the data that anyone can get needs to be plugged. Making data open is not always about licences or the format issues, but it is alsoabout comprehension and access. Open data should not require additional time, resources and expertise to be used.
- There is a significant cost in making quality data Open .The question is who is to bear the cost, Publishers or the users?-What are the tools available to analyze and critic the data?The policies to be formulated and implemented by governments and institutions should address such concerns.
Finally, from an ethical perspective,even with good policies about open data,there is still need for a culture change among individuals and institutions as well as governments to encourage sharing information among stakeholders in the sector
