Abstract

In times of crisis, data sharing is high on policy makers? agendas. The European Union (EU) recently released a proposal for a data governance act (DGA) "to foster the availability of data for use by increasing trust in data intermediaries and by strengthening data-sharing mechanisms across the EU." Additionally, the United Kingdom (UK) Data Standards Authority recommended the use of new open standards to improve data sharing across the government, while the Information Commissioner's Office published a revised version of its statutory data sharing code of practice to offer practical advice to businesses and organizations for ways to carry out responsible data sharing and launched a data sharing information hub. In the United States, federal agencies have started to execute a federal data strategy, a 10-year plan to leverage the value of information to support the delivery of missions and services across agencies, and a repository of federal enterprise data resources has been created. Canada is also revamping its privacy framework: the draft Consumer Privacy Protection Act aims to facilitate the sharing of deidentified personal information to carry out socially beneficial purposes.
