VLDB Journal: 17-point Information Resilience Manifesto

On behalf of the research team at the ARC Training Centre for Information Resilience (CIRES), I am delighted to share our vision for Information Resilience, outlined in our recently published paper in the VLDB Journal, Special Issue on Responsible Data Management. The cross-disciplinary team at CIRES presents Information Resilience as the nexus of responsible and agile approaches to information use, and outlines a 17-point manifesto for Information Resilience.

Read the full paper at https://lnkd.in/gAKAzbSs and reach out to us at CIRES to join the efforts to realise the manifesto together with our industry and government partners.
