science commons open access data public domain

information for the Internet community
distributing data or databases
70 more annotations...
- “open” and “open access”
- requirements for gaining and using the Science Commons Open Access Data Mark and metadata
- interoperability of scientific data
- terms and conditions around data make integration difficult to legally perform
- single license
- data with this license can be integrated with any other data under this license
- too many databases under too many terms already
- unlikely that any one license or suite of licenses will have the correct mix of terms
- principles for open access data and a protocol for implementing those principles
- Open Access Data Mark and metadata
- databases and data
- the foundation to legally integrate a database or data product
- another database or data product
- no mechanisms to manage transfer or negotiations of rights unrelated to integration
- submitted to Science Commons for certification as a conforming implementation
- Open Access Data trademarks (icons and phrases) and metadata on databases
- protocol must promote legal predictability and certainty
- easy to use and understand
- lowest possible transaction costs on users
- Science Commons’ experience in distributing a database licensing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) file
- hard to apply the distinction between what is copyrightable and what is not copyrightable
- lack of simplicity restricts usage
- reducing or eliminating the need to make the distinction between copyrightable and non-copyrightable elements
- satisfy the norms and expectations of the disciplines providing the database
- norms for citation will differ
- norms must be attached
- Converge on the public domain by waiving all rights based on intellectual property
- reconstruction of the public domain
- scientific norms to express the wishes of the data provider
- public domain
- waiving the relevant rights on data and asserting that the provider makes no claims on the data
- Requesting behavior, such as citation, through norms rather than as a legal requirement based on copyright or contracts, allows for different scientific disciplines to develop different norms for citation.
- waive all rights necessary for data extraction and re-use
- copyright
- sui generis database rights
- claims of unfair competition
- implied contracts
- and other legal rights
- any obligations on the user of the data or database such as “copyleft” or “share alike”, or even the legal requirement to provide attribution
- non-legally binding set of citation norms
- waiving other statutory or intellectual property rights
- there are other rights, in addition to copyright, that may apply
- sui generis rights apply in the European Union
- uncopyrightable databases may be protected in some countries
- waivers of sui generis and other legal grounds for database protection
- no contractual controls
- using contract, rather than intellectual property or statutory rights, to apply terms to databases
- affirmatively declare that contractual constraints do not apply to the database
- interoperation with databases and data not available under the Science Commons Open Access Data Protocol through metadata
- data that is not or cannot be made available under this protocol
- owner provides metadata (as data) under this protocol so that the existence of the non-open access data is discoverable
- digital identifiers and metadata describing non-open access data
- “Licensing” a database typically means that the “copyrightable elements” of a database are made available under a copyright license
- Database FAQ, in its first iteration, recommended this method
- recommendation is now withdrawn
- copyright begins in and ends in many databases
- database divided into copyrightable and non copyrightable elements
- user tends to assume that all is under copyright or none is under copyright
- copyright in situations where it is not necessary
- share-alike license on the copyrightable elements may be falsely assumed to operate on the factual contents of a database
- query across tens of thousands of data records across the web might return a result which itself populates a new database
- selective waiving of intellectual property rights fail to provide a high degree of legal certainty and ease of use
- problem of false expectations
- apply a “copyleft” term to the copyrightable elements of a database, in hopes that those elements result in additional open access database elements coming online
- uncopyrightable factual content
- republish those contents without observing the copyleft or share-alike terms
- cascading attribution if attribution is required as part of a license approach
- Would a scientist need to attribute 40,000 data depositors in the event of a query across 40,000 data sets?
- conflict with accepted norms in some disciplines
- imposes a significant transaction cost

Science Commons Protocol for Implementing Open Access Data
Protocol gives 3 basic reasons for preferring the ‘PD’ approach
8 more annotations...
- I am not really convinced by any of these points that attribution or share-alike provisions should not be included in open data licenses
- the protocol does not discuss any of the possible attractions of allowing such provisions
- application of obligations based on copyright in situations where it is not necessary
- non-copyrightable elements extends to the entire database and inadvertently infringe
- If intellectual property rights are involved
- requirements carrying a stiff penalty for failure
- interpretative problems
- selective waiving of intellectual property rights
