Abstract

When producing and processing humanities data, very often deal with information about people – unlike in for example physics or chemistry, the primary subjects of our research may be thinking, feeling beings, and that means that we have significant ethical and moral considerations in how we go about our data projects. This resource will detail methods and techniques developed to create and process datasets without compromising ethics.
