# All Research Data Questions are Ethical Questions #

## Birds of a feather submission for eResearch 2020 ##

Even the most mundane data collection has an ethical component.  We have been presented with misbehaviour over the use social media and corporate data, but what are the problems, responsibilites and requirements on us as we collect and use data that may not even be about people?

This BOF session will include conversation starters based on 

* how tangata whenua are intrisically afected by all data collection in and about Aoteraoa
* the duty to preserve data for the very long term
* all data is biased


_I am happy to facilitate this BOF, but we will need to find some more speakers to it, though I don't think this will be hard.  I'd like to suggest Giulio Dalla Riva as one._
