Government, academia, and industry are discussing and developing guidelines on how to embed principles and values into digital (geospatial) technologies. Yet we are still far from implementation. This presentation will discuss how these global data responsibility guidelines apply to geospatial data and some of the key challenges we face as we move towards implementation.
