Abstract

Meta/data are not neutral terms and mean various things for different communities and demographics. One such community that lacks much discussion about their ontologies of meta/data are the LGBTQ communities. With current practices of meta/data production, are the opinions of LGBTQ people properly represented? In this paper we position an ongoing project that is trying to understand the opinions of LGBTQ people regarding meta/data. We briefly provide some context to the broader project and also share our study design for the project. From this paper we hope to position how and why this type of work is necessary for LGBTQ people.
