In the new issue of my newsletter, I talk about my background and research in cultural heritage/DAM data issues related to Indigenous collections/content/data.

Data professionals like archivists, librarians, curators, and IT professionals are expected to have competencies (the ability to apply knowledge/skill) in the complex, systemic data issues related to colonization. Indigenous data issues highlight broader systemic data complexities we see in DAM, development, systems, copyright law, taxonomy labor, and more.
