This edited collection brings together contributions that explore ethics in
linked data initiatives. Discussions about linked data and its potential
are often utopian and technophiliac, rarely examining darker implications
or harmful consequences. Since technology cannot exist outside of social,
cultural, and economic spheres, it is important for creators and stewards
of linked data and its related systems to recognize and address the impact
(whether intended or not, positive or negative) on the communities,
individuals affected. Engaging in critical and ethical analysis is
ultimately an optimistic endeavor aimed at exposing problematic issues,
generating best practices and guidelines, and opening up positive and
generative possibilities for the implementation and use of linked data in
GLAMS  (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums, Special Collections).

The central premise of this book is that it is imperative:

   - to foreground ethics rather than apply them as an afterthought,
   - to acknowledge and mitigate the damage caused by existing systems,
   - to create a place and space of justice for the minoritized,
   - and to enable more ethical outcomes in linked data projects.

This book collects the voices of practitioners, technologists, and
developers working on linked data initiatives; scholars working at the
intersection of ethics, cultural heritage, and technology; and workers in
GLAMS, among others in order to explore emerging and changing technical and
ethical landscapes. Contributions investigate the intersection of linked
data with such topics as gender, indigenous knowledge, inclusive data
creation, authority control, identity management, systems design, codes of
ethics, sustainability, critiques of fundamental linked data models, and
more.

Best,
Ariana
