This WG adresses questions regarding the manageemnt of sensitive and personal data, as well as ethical and legal issues for linguistic data in Switzerland, and aims to disseminate information and advice about these topics in the Swiss scientific community using language data.
The WG started in September 2023 with a kick-off event, which focused on data collection, protection and preservation and their associated procedures, with respect to different types of linguistic data (e.g., multimodal, historical, experimental, sociolinguistic, data from social media, data from different age groups). The slides and the recording of the three key-note talked are shared on the CLARIN-CH Documentation Platform.
During the kick-off event, we collected questions from the community (discipline-specific) about managing sensitive and personal data, as well as copyright issues especially when it comes to social media and internet data. To answer these questions, we invite researchers and professionals (e.g. from grant and research support offices, from the legal services of higher education institutions, from the cantonal legal services) to share from their experience.
During the 2024 spring and autumn semesters, we organise a monthly webinar which will address the following topics (click on the date for more details and recordings/slides):
The format is that of lunch talks (12:00-13:00) with 30 min of talk by an expert, followed by 30 minutes of discussion.
The outputs of this WG are as follows:
