Data-Centric Digital Rights (DCDR), an initiative from , is the advocacy by which it aims at protecting citizens' Rights by transparently implementing in their daily technology the regulations that should protect them.
As core stakeholders, technologists play a critical role as the and need to orient themselves through new design and implementation paradigms focused on protecting data. The put forward by The IO Foundation are concepts that help them navigate the intricacies of applying Human and Digital Rights in digital infrastructures, products and services.
In essence, DCDR is a framework for technologists composed by Principles, Taxonomies and other technical tools. It enables them to develop a deeper understanding about the nature of data, the digital twins that emerge from it and make possible for them to embrace their role as .

Treat other people's data the same way you want to be treated.
The traditional understanding of data as separate entities from their users is anchored in past perceptions and the use of legacy technologies.
The reality is much different: The data representing users (and of which they should have control of consent) is intimately and inextricably linked to them; it models them, creating an accurate representation that loses all value should that contextualization ever be severed.
The direct consequence is that a user’s data IS the user itself.
REMARKS
Do note that this understanding has crucial consequences as the same duties of care that apply by constitutional laws to citizens should equally apply to the data representing them.
In this sense, the necessary infrastructures that governments put in place to protect their citizens (hospitals, highways, the judiciary and so forth) should also be extended to the management and protection of their data with a national cloud system based on open standards and governed by a framework on Data-Centric Digital Rights.

Adopt designs that minimize grievances.
This DCDR principle represents the embodiment of the proactive planification, architecture and implementation of all necessary mechanisms, both in policy and technology, to avoid grievances to ever happen during the use of a product or a service, in turn minimizing the need for legal actions.
REMARKS
In the context of Data Protection Laws, it implies the design of policies that protect Data Subjects and the implementation of such provisions in a transparent, trustworthy and safe manner where legal remedies, while defined, are only employed as a safety net.

NOTICE
This section describes the Theory of Change that guides the Data-Centric Digital Rights initiative and its impact.
The IO Foundation has observed the following problem:
The current state of technology is not conducive to designing digital spaces that are transparently protected
The extra weight on citizen’s shoulders
The ridiculous difference between tech and the rest of the industries
Impossibility of adherence to compliance
Impossibility for agencies to verify and enforce compliance
Leaving behind major stakeholder: programmers
The IO Foundation proposes the following solutions to the observed problems.

Leave no policy uncoded behind.
This DCDR Principle responds to the need for policies and tech to be designed and implemented as one: the former establishes what is to be respected and the latter ensures that the compliance is built in the infrastructure so that users are protected automatically and transparently.
On other words, any protection a citizen or its digital twins are subjected to under a specific jurisdiction should be transparently implemented inside the technology itself, by design.

Do note that this is a concept that is evidently applicable beyond the domain of technology, which is highly
Version 0.1
The Sagan Oath is a declaration for technologists to adhere to as they actively contribute to Digital Spaces and platforms to ensure the protection of their users by design. It’s ultimate goal is to synthesize a sense of purpose that can be operationalized and thus effectively guide technologists in their role as new rights defenders.
In the same spirit of the modern Hippocratic Oath (of which it is directly inspired at the time of its conception), the Sagan Oath attempts to express verbally the responsibilities that technology engineers should embrace.
The Hippocratic Oath is a universal declaration by doctors to society clarifying their commitment, in entering the medical world, to uphold specific ethical standards. As a result of this pledge any patient knows that the primary objective of a doctor, anywhere in the world, is their care and protection.
In the absence of such a covenant, technologists have found it challenging to generate the same global commitment. As a consequence, technology as been developed not to advance and protect its users but rather use and abuse them.
The IO Foundation aims at complementing the DCDR Framework with an Oath that can help technologists to understand their fundamental role as Next Generation of Rights Defenders.
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect my fellow citizens, for their problems and data, which is them in essence, are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a digital twin, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to erase a digital twin; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own technical prowess. Above all, I must not play at Digital God.
I will remember that I do not treat a dataset, a schema, but a citizen and their authentic digital twins, whose improper manipulation may affect the citizen’s family’s safety and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for people’s data.
I will strive to design architectures and to implement technology that embeds all existing protections whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those with access to technology and those who don’t.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of building digital spaces that encourage societal growth while ensuring safety by design.
[Work in progress]
As all materials created by The IO Foundation, the Sagan Oath is published under TIOF Public Licensing Model.
Indeed there were.
Finding a suitable name for an Oath is no obvious task and no matter the final decision it will inevitably be subject to differences of opinion.
In the spirit of naming this Oath upon a inspiring, recognizable name, the following options were considered:
A scientist, in appreciation to his or her contributions in the domain of technology
A technological turning point in the shape of an invention or an event
Many names were considered such as Asimov, Babbage, ENIAC, Feynman, Tesla, von Newmann, Turing, Cray, Shannon or Postel. All of them contributed to the history of the technology we enjoy nowadays.
The final decision, albeit seemingly simplistic, was based solely in the recognition of what Carl Sagan represented in the dissemination of science to the general public. He was an expert that explained the necessary to citizens so that they could be informed and responsible users.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

The DCDR Framework is currently a work in progress.
A research focused on establishing a technical description on the nature of data and its lifecycle.
A core component of the DCDR Framework and its implementation is to provide clarity concerning the nature of data and its lifecycle. The objective is to ensure a baseline model to identify the Digital Harms that data can undergo during said lifecycle so that technologists can use it as a reference.
Data exists in a fully digital space. Understanding data manipulation requires understanding its lifecycle.
