During the RDA 13th plenary, the ESAD group initiated a discussion on the Ethics in Data Science and Analytics. Following the keynote by Julia Stoyanovich underlying the challenges of fairness, accountability, and transparency in data science, the group has explored the ethical challenges around IoT, data science, and data analytics in their session. As a conclusion, we have identified a need to develop a reference curriculum for data ethics to support data scientist. A task force of “Ethics Curriculum development” has been established and started working. The task force aims to produce an output which can be adopted in data science programs and training activities in data-centric fields.
In this plenary session, we plan to present the current state of the work, get feedback from the community, and focus on specific aspects of the curriculum for specific use cases/ target groups.

The Ethics and Social Aspects of Data (ESAD) IG was established in 2015 and focuses on ethical and social challenges of data archiving, sharing, and reuse. The group has been discussing the kinds/types of data that can be reused and under what circumstances, the work of institutional ethics bodies and boards, and areas of research and specific research aspects that create new challenges for data management. Discussions held in the ESAD IG span across many group activities at RDA, where each group contributes to ethical data sharing goals from their perspectives.
ESAD has more than 100 members and continues as an interest group. A group of members are working on FAIR representations of ethical review processes.
