This PR contributes a guide for data sharing protocols grounded in Indigenous data sovereignty, including:

  • An overview of what IDSov is;
  • Guiding questions and a checklist;
  • A template for an MoU;
  • A reading list.

Note: this PR was inspired by putting together an internal reading list on IDSov for the CMI team... when I thought to myself, "why not publish this on our docs site?" (Along with some other related content that I already had prepared, and is fine to share publicly.)

Additionally, I saw fit to rename tutorials/ to guides/ as I think it is a better descriptor of the contents in "Guides & Tutorials." That is, there will be many more guides than tutorials, and I don't know that it's good for the URL to get much longer e.g. /guides-and-tutorials/. However, I'm open to feedback on this.

Warning

This will introduce a breaking change for anybody trying to find an original guide in the /tutorials/ URL. We either need to point people to the new URLs, or look at backwards compatibility. I think it is only realistic to expect to need to do this for the KoboToolbox syllabus.

Each principle is supported by a set of sub-principles that describe how the principle should be applied in practice. For more information, see "Care Principles for Indigenous Data Governance" (2020)[^2].

The CARE Principles are an important standard that is already being used to benchmark and improve data sharing and stewardship practices. For example, Jennings et al. (2023)[^3] used the CARE Principles to recommend better data stewardship practices for open earth science research.

Note: later, we can refer to this guide to benchmark whether and how Guardian Connector evaluates against e.g. the CARE principles!
