Targets: Creative Commons Copyright Platform's Working Group on Digital Sharing Spaces aims to remove barriers for access to knowledge, culture, and education. Therefore, the importance of our work concerning the Data Act and similar initiatives stems from creating policy recommendations and activism for better sharing of knowledge and culture.
Description:
In the face of rapid technological advancements, many legislative proposals seek to regulate the information sphere from different perspectives. One of the recent initiatives is the European Union’s proposed Data Act. This proposal promises to bring many opportunities for effective data sharing, but it also has the potential to neglect the opportunity for better data value creation for the public good. Our Working Group, which is established under the Creative Commons Copyright Platform, has been working on analyzing policy issues that would impact better sharing online. We’d like to use the proposed Data Act as a case study to identify our concerns regarding digital sharing spaces, access and better sharing of knowledge and culture data especially regarding information shared concerning Creative Commons licenses, as well as identifying why these concerns have a direct impact on data governance, data commons,and people’s fundamental freedom to share and ability to participate in the data economy.
We’ll present our policy findings during the workshop with the aim of gathering feedback from participants, to establish an inclusive policy guideline for future work.
Hybrid Format: - Most of our speakers will attend the workshop session online. Therefore, we aim to have interactive tools to present our work, and then we're seeking to utilize online debate. Onsite participants will be able to take the floor for the debate as well.
- With interactive tools, that could be utilized by onsite and online participants.
- We are planning to use anonymous polls for feedback, and as well as tools to submit questions via an online application, if participants would not like to take the floor to speak.
