In response to rising awareness of the harms and negative impacts of
data, different concepts have emerged that represent new ways of thinking
about how it should be used.
This report sets out the findings of research undertaken by the Open Data
Institute (ODI) between June 2022 and March 2023, supported by the
Patrick J. McGovern Foundation. We set out to document and explore
these concepts, with a particular focus on ‘responsible data’, and to use
the findings to develop a normative interpretation of responsible data
stewardship that we could use in our work. The research consisted of a
literature review and expert interviews, involving 18 organisations from
across the public, private and third sectors, in Africa, Europe, North
and South America.
