When I hear the words “data sharing” my immediate reaction is to start asking questions. I can’t help it.

Firstly, what do we mean by the word “data”? Are we talking about aggregate statistics or are we talking about microdata, i.e., individual records? If it’s the latter, are they anonymized (and how well have they been pseudonymized) or do the records contain information that could identify persons or entities?
