Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing; Customizable ethics checklists for Big Data researchers
"Deon is a project to create automated "ethics checklists" for data 
science projects; by default, running the code creates a comprehensive 
checklist covering data collection and storage, modeling and deployment:
 the checklist items aren't specific actions, they're "meant to provoke 
discussion among good-faith actors who take their ethical 
responsibilities seriously. Because of this, most of the items are 
framed as prompts to discuss or consider. Teams will want to document 
these discussions and decisions for posterity."
The lists can be customized for your own purposes, and if you think the 
default list needs revising, there's a democratic process for amending 
it."
