Open platforms, open minds, respectful practices: ICIP & IDSov Guide for Wikimedia Australia

Join us in Canberra for a special panel session with Dr Terri Janke, who will present an overview of the Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) and Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov) project she is leading at Wikimedia Australia.

This one hour session will explore how galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) engage with ICIP and IDSov protocols, and how those intersect with open knowledge platforms such as Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. Dr Janke will share insights from the project to date and invite discussion on respectful, ethical and culturally appropriate approaches to managing and sharing Indigenous knowledge.

Following the panel we warmly invite members of the local GLAM community, along with Wikimedia contributors and supporters, to stay and continue the conversation over one hour of drinks and nibbles.
