Frameworks of Guidance for Digital Projects that deal with Human Communities 

http://bit.ly/DataIsPeople

This document represents the initial outcomes of a conversation about the kinds of questions that digital project managers and planners should consider as they are beginning a project that includes data and materials that touch on human communities.

It is only a beginning, and the members of the session eagerly encourage comments, questions, additions, and edits to the document.

Please consider the draft and join our effort produce a set of questions of guidelines that will help to more explicitly address the ethical issues that are so frequently at play in our digital cultural heritage work.
