Organisation
Open Food Facts
NGO
Open Food Facts, the free food products database, celebrated its 10 years in 2022, with a brand new app, more than 2.5 millions products in its database, 200+ more reuses of the data, and first plan participation in impacting projects like the Nutri-Score and the Eco-Score. In this talk we will discuss running and developing this Open Data Common: what are the challenges at stake; how the project weaves together public at large, food manufacturers, re-using applications, scientists, public agencies, private foundations and the community of contributors; how we try hard to be as open and transparent as possible.

Workshop 4 - Ethics in NGI search
The NGI initiative places the human at the centre, often calling itself an Internet for humans or having a human-centric focus. The openwebsearch.eu project is presently in the process of releasing an Open Web Index (OWI), which raises a number of ethical dilemmas and opportunities. At the same time, projects like NGI search are funding ideas by researchers and activists on the topic of large language models that could benefit from an Open Web Index. This session will discuss in practical terms what ethical considerations need to be addressed by projects collating data, data ownership as well as the responsibility and accountability regarding search results based on this data.
