The CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance are a set of principles intended to guide open data projects in engaging Indigenous Peoples rights and interests.
[2] CARE is an acronym which stands for Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics.
The CARE Principles are 'people and purpose-oriented, reflecting the crucial role of data in advancing Indigenous innovation and self-determination', and intended as a complement to the data-oriented perspective of other standards such as FAIR data (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable).
[3] The CARE principles have been embedded into the Beta version of Standardised Data on Initiatives (STARDIT).
[4] CARE principles were the basis of a submission to the UN's Global Digital Compact.
