open public science data license

Peter Murray-Rust and others at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at Cambridge
conversation we had over lunch with Peter, Jim Downing, Nico Adams, Nick Day and Rufus Pollock
28 more annotations...
- appropriate way to license published scientific data
- value of share-alike or copyleft provisions of GPL and similar licenses
- spreading the message and use of Open Content
- prevent “freeloaders” from being able to use Open material and not contribute back to the open community
- presumption in this view is that a license is a good, or at least acceptable, way of achieving both these goals
- allow people the freedom to address their concerns through copyleft approaches
- Rufus
- concerned more centrally with enabling re-use and re-purposing of data as far as is possible
- don’t tend to be concerned about freeloading
- worried by the potential for licensing to make it harder to re-use and re-mix disparate sets of data and content into new digital objects
- “license”, will have scientists running screaming in the opposite direction
- we focused on what we could agree on
- common position statement
- area of best practice for the publication of data that arises from public science
- there is a window of opportunity to influence funder positions
- data sharing policies
- “following best practice”
- providing clear guidance and tools
- make it easy for researchers to deliver on their obligations
- if it is widely accepted by their research communities
- “best practice is X”
- enable re-use and re-purposing of that data
- share-alike approaches as a community expectation
- Explicit statements of the status of data are required and we need effective technical and legal infrastructure to make this easy for researchers.
- “Where a decision has been taken to publish data deriving from public science research, best practice to enable the re-use and re-purposing of that data, is to place it explicitly in the public domain via {one of a small set of protocols e.g. cc0 or PDDL}.”
- focuses purely on what should be done once a decision to publish has been made
- data generated by public science
- describing this as best practice it also allows deviations that may, for whatever reason, be justified by specific people in specific circumstances

Protocol for Implementing Open Access Data

science commons open access data public domain

hard to apply the distinction between what is copyrightable and what is not copyrightable
lack of simplicity restricts usage
48 more annotations...
- 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

PublicDomainCalculators - Open Knowledge Foundation Wiki

As part of the Public Domain Works project, we wanted to create an algorithm to determine whether or not a certain work was in the public domain, given certain details such as date of publication, date of death of author, and so on.

Open Knowledge Foundation Weblog » Blog Archive » Third COMMUNIA Workshop - Marking the public domain

The third COMMUNIA workshop ‘Marking the public domain: relinquishment & certification’ (which we mentioned last week) took place in Amsterdam on Monday and Tuesday.

It brought together COMMUNIA members and other relevant parties from across Europe for talks and workshops focusing on legal issues related to the public domain, and how public domain works can be found and re-used.

diigo comment help public

Adding public inline comments on a home page is not allowed now. We restrained this feature to prevent mass graffiti on home page.
Inline comments (highlight + Add Sticky Note) doesn't give me a "Public" option on any webpages, including this one. The only options are Private or one of my groups.
- This seems to be an error with the Firefox addon, it works fine with Diigolet (Diigo bookmarklet) - on 2008-10-05
