The first big challenge

Great work has been done in the UK in terms of administrative data and via the Ipsos Mori report: Exploring the public’s views on using administrative data for research purposes, and in the use of personal data in commercial organisations, but this is not the end of the story. facing us in the data revolution is giving citizens and data subjects australia rcs data more opportunity to trust the activities of researchers (wherever they are based, and whoever they work for) who use our services and to trust the activities of independent data archives.
Data Access
My second theme is around data access and the conditions under which data can be accessed. In the last couple of months I’ve been working on designing a Data Access Policy for the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA). A few years back I constructed a data access policy for the UK Data Service, and earlier this year, I had the pleasure of representing the UK (or the rest of the world) on a working group which reported to the National Science Foundation in the USA.
We as representatives of the data service community need to be more involved in the policy side of data access conditions. Our collective experience in the implementation of the wishes of data owners gives us a brilliant opportunity to take more of a role in the development of data policies.
