ZEVEDI Project Group: Data Access Rules

The highly controversial issue of the allocation of data (rights) has an impact on access options and therefore influences our ability to use data as effectively as possible and in a way that is in the public interest. The project group therefore questioned traditional allocation and access specifications. On the one hand, it examined specific ways in which data access can be designed in such a way that it reflects cross-stakeholder responsibility and neither overburdens nor overestimates individual data providers. On the other hand, against the background of systematic-philosophical concepts of "rights", the question was to what extent data access forms a meaningful field of application for modifying traditional subject concepts and the legal concepts based on them.

The project group was part of the Hessian research network Centre Responsible Digitality (ZEVEDI) and was led by Prof. Dr. Steffen Augsberg (Justus Liebig University Giessen) as spokesperson. His deputy was Dr. Marcus Düwell (Technical University of Darmstadt). Other contributors were Prof. Dr. Petra Gehring (Technical University of Darmstadt), Prof. Dr. Malte-C. Gruber (Justus Liebig University Giessen), Prof. Dr. Gerrit Hornung, LL.M. (University of Kassel) and Prof. Dr. Doris Schweitzer (Goethe University Frankfurt am Main).
