Keywords: Open data ; Confidentiality ; Disclosure
Abstract:

Federal agencies have a long history of releasing data to the public, and they also have a legal obligation to protect the confidentiality of the individuals and organizations from which the data were collected. This roundtable will focus on the tension between federal open data initiatives and the need to protect data from disclosure. I will provide a brief summary of relevant federal legislation and directives, review important concepts in statistical disclosure limitation, discuss the potential threats to confidentiality, and invite speculation about the future of public use data.

Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
