transparency and integrity in research engagements with Indigenous communities. An extension of the Traditional Knowledge Labels (<a href="http://www.localcontexts.org/"><span style="color:black;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">www.localcontexts.org</span></a>)
they are part of a larger strategy building equity and diversity into digital infrastructures. The BC Labels are data-markers that help define community expectations and consent about appropriate and future use of research data. The BC Labels provide a practical
application of Indigenous data sovereignty principles to issues of access and benefit-sharing for genetic resources and support Nagoya Protocol expectations around the disclosure and origins of Indigenous data used in research contexts. The Biocultural Label
initiative brings together expertise in Indigenous rights, intellectual property law, genomic science, data science, alongside international Indigenous data sovereignty networks.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
