Special Issue on Responsible Data Management and Data Science

Abstract

We, the guest editors of the VLDB Journal special issue on Responsible Data Management and Data Science, are excited to present this special issue to the readership of the VLDB Journal. This special issue was conceived almost two years ago when it was becoming increasingly apparent to our community that while data management and data science technologies enable tremendous opportunities for individuals and organizations to make use of their data assets to create value, they also have the potential, if used without proper care, to have serious adverse consequences on these same individuals and organizations.
