[open-archaeology] Ethics and open archaeology, part N

[Jo Walsh]

dear archaeologists,

Woke up this morning / thinking about ethics...

Cf. Ant Beck, exhibit A the original post on ethics -
http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-archaeology/2010-May/000055.html
Exhibit B the blog post on "open archaeology and ethics"
http://blog.okfn.org/2010/06/11/dig-the-new-breed-open-archaeology-and-ethics/

I may likely enough have missed some later exhibits, given i never come
to your Skype meetings etc because IANAA.

However i wonder if the ethics conversation is due a nudge. My
recollection of the plan was
a) to do some phone/Skype interviews with institutional representatives,
asking them how they feel about ethics and to publish, if they have one,
an ethics statement
b) to draft some kind of collective statement on ethics and the opening
up of (born-digital) archaeological data
c) to get lots of people together (in York?) to discuss and anneal the
statement, and figure how to get institutions to adopt it.

Are there developments that i have totally missed?

with love,


jo
