- Abstract: This chapter addresses emergent ethical issues in producing, using, curating,
and providing services for open data. Our goal is to provide an introduction to
how ethical topics in open data manifest in practical dilemmas for scholarly
communications and some approaches to understanding and working through them.
We begin with a brief overview of what can be thought of as three basic
theories of ethics that intersect with dilemmas in openness, accountability,
transparency, and fairness in data: Virtue, Consequential, and
Non-consequential ethics. We then map these kinds of ethics to the practical
questions that arise in provisioning infrastructures, providing services, and
supporting sustainable research in science and scholarship that depends upon
open access to data. Throughout, we attempt to offer concrete examples of
potential ethical dilemmas facing scholarly communication with respect to open
data, and try to make clear what kinds of ethical positions are helpful to
practitioners. In doing so, we hope to both clarify the ethical questions
facing librarians doing practical work to support open data access, as well as
situate current debates in the field with respect to these three kinds of
ethics.

We describe how technology and design practitioners negotiate their conception of ethics as they reflect upon their everyday work.
Across three cases, we describe how ethics was negotiated through language across three key zones of ecological emergence.
Building on these findings, we describe how the languaging of ethics reveals opportunities to definitionally and practically engage with ethics in technology ethics research, practice, and education.
