Protocols and principles

The Indigenous data and governance and sovereignty resources outline what protocols and principles are to be followed concerning the collection, storage, and use of knowledge identified and created through a project, including Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property.

The ‘Indigenous Data Governance and Sovereignty’ information sheet discusses what data is and how it needs to be collected, stored, and used.

The ‘Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property’ information sheet refers to the rights that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have and use to protect their cultural knowledge, including traditional and sacred arts and culture.
