To Hell With Good Intentions: Linked Data, Community and the Power to Name / Mark A. Matienzo

Metadata and Nomenclature Process and Partnerships
 
Published  May 18, 2018  

Matienzo explores the argument that metadata, archiving, and linked data are never neutral; naming holds power and can reinforce problematic narratives about gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and more. He specifically challenges the myth about linked data as completely accessible and democratic; linked data can harm the communities which are mis- or under-represented, especially because corporations hold control over linked power and these communities cannot influence change. He offers several articles and projects as models for productive and ethical cultural heritage practices.

Keynote presented at the LITA Forum, Minneapolis, MN.
