Royal Society Te Apārangi is pleased to share with you our new report, Mana Raraunga Data Sovereignty. This report outlines what data sovereignty is, and why it matters in Aotearoa New Zealand. It gives an overview of the concepts of data sovereignty, Indigenous data sovereignty, and Māori data sovereignty.
In this digital era, when data has become hugely valuable and a source of power, these concepts are helping guide answers to questions about who owns, controls, and protects our data. The report also summarizes new data practices that are emerging to create a data future that benefits us all. We expect this report to be of use to the research sector, as well those in government and other communities. Please share with your colleagues and networks.
