DEW 2014 - Data Ethics workshop

Held in conjunction with KDD 2014, the Data Ethics workshop will address a broad spectrum of ethical issues in data collection, storage, analysis, and sharing.
The workshop will be a forum to explore data science's potential ethical implications -- both positive and negative -- for data analytics practitioners and researchers in academia and industry. Perspectives from those in the humanities and social sciences are also welcome.
