Information and digital life
How people find, create, protect, preserve, and access information in connected systems.
Digital information is shaped by tools, institutions, and the people who use them. Its lifecycle includes creation, description, access, reuse, security, and long-term preservation. Good systems make their limits and data practices understandable while supporting people with different languages, devices, and abilities.
Information can be useful while also being personal, copyrighted, culturally sensitive, or vulnerable to misuse. Good practice checks permission and provenance, limits collection of private data, protects credentials, and makes services usable without excluding people who have less bandwidth or assistive technology.
