Indigenous Data Sovereignty, in its proclamation of the right of Indigenous peoples to govern the collection, ownership, and application of data, recognises data as a cultural and economic asset. The impact of data is magnified by the emergence of Big Data and the associated impetus to open publicly held data (Open Data). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, families and communities, heavily overrepresented in social disadvantage–related data will also be overrepresented in the application of these new technologies, but in a data landscape, Indigenous peoples remain largely alienated from the use of data and its utilization within the channels of policy power. Existing data infrastructure, and the emerging Open Data infrastructure, neither recognise Indigenous agency and worldviews nor consider Indigenous data needs. This is demonstrated in the absence of any consideration of Indigenous data issues in Open Data discussions and publication. Thus, while the potential benefits of this data revolution are trumpeted, our marginalised social, cultural and political location suggests we will not share equally in these benefits. This paper discusses the unforeseen (and likely unseen) consequences of the influence of Open Data and Big Data and discusses how Indigenous Data Sovereignty can mediate risks while providing pathways to collective benefits.

大数据和开放数据时代的本土数据主权

土著数据主权在宣布土著人民有权管理数据的收集、所有权和应用时，承认数据是一种文化和经济资产。大数据的出现以及相关的开放公共数据（开放数据）的推动力放大了数据的影响。原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民、家庭和社区在与社会不利相关的数据中的比例过高也将在这些新技术的应用中过多，但在数据领域中，原住民仍然在很大程度上与数据的使用及其利用疏远在政策权力的渠道内。现有的数据基础设施和新兴的开放数据基础设施既不承认土著机构和世界观，也不考虑土著数据的需求。在开放数据讨论和出版中没有考虑土著数据问题的情况下就证明了这一点。因此，尽管这场数据革命的潜在好处被大肆宣扬，但我们边缘化的社会、文化和政治位置表明我们不会平等分享这些好处。本文讨论了开放数据和大数据影响的不可预见（和可能未预见）的后果，并讨论了本土数据主权如何在提供获得集体利益的途径的同时调节风险。
