This position statement is a response to the Office of Science and Technology Policy's Request for Information on "Equitable Data Engagement and Accountability." This response considers data equity specifically for people with disabilities. The RFI asks "how Federal agencies can better support collaboration with other levels of government, civil society, and the research community around the production and use of equitable data." We argue that one critically underserved community in the context of data equity is people with disabilities. Today's tools make it extremely difficult for disabled people to (1) interact with data and data visualizations and (2) take jobs that involve working with and visualizing data. Yet access to such data is increasingly critical, and integral, to engaging with government and civil society. We must change the standards and expectations around data practices to include disabled people and support the research necessary to achieve those goals.

翻译：这一立场声明是回应科技政策办公室关于“公平数据参与和问责制”的信息请求。 这份回复认为数据平等是专门针对残疾人的。 联邦机构如何更好地支持与其他各级政府、民间社会和研究界围绕公平数据制作和使用的合作? 我们认为,在数据平等方面,一个服务严重不足的社区是残疾人。 今天的工具使得残疾人极难(1) 与数据和数据可视化互动,(2) 从事涉及数据工作和可视化的工作。 然而,这些数据的获取越来越重要,而且对政府和民间社会的参与不可或缺。 我们必须改变数据做法的标准和期望,将残疾人包括在内,并支持实现这些目标所需的研究。
