Open licenses for research data

Abstract

There are multiple ways in which research data can be shared, and one of the issues to be addressed in the process is that of the rights that users should have when using the data. Open licenses come in a variety of flavours, but they have in common that they do not restrict who can reuse materials, nor for what purposes. In this talk, several open licenses will be discussed in terms of their applicability to research data, along with machine readability, and best practices for data citation.

Original focus

Creative Commons wiki: Data
- Includes FAQ on questions related to the use of Creative Commons licenses for data
- Largely covered in the following talk, "Schutz und Lizenzierung von Forschungsdaten" (Andreas Wiebe, University of Göttingen)

Perspectives on sharing research data

Issues

Cultural

Technical

Inconsistent XML as a Barrier to Reuse of Open Access Content^[3]

Legal

The focus of this session.

Data sharing in practice

Generating data

complete, with sufficient metadata for analysis
manually or through bots
attribution
provisions for not sharing sensitive data
contractual or institutional limits regarding data sharing
must take into account the opinions of/ regulations for co-authors

Reusing data

discoverability
proper metadata
clear licensing and authorship statements
manually or through bots
API
common formats
common standards

Curating data

clear licensing and authorship statements not always possible
a lot of effor goes into proper metadata
discoverability
manually or through bots
long-term preservation
open data formats
open standards

Data stewardship regulations

many funders and institutions now require a data management plan or similar
much of this is limited to the project duration
many project-funded infrastructures have a short life span
LOCKSS
CLOCKSS
making data management plans machine readable is on the horizon at the NIH

Data sharing in theory

Principles and definitions

Open data licenses

Open Data Commons Public Domain Dedication and License
Waives any creativity-related rights that may stand in the way of reuse; does not touch upon other rights (e.g. personality rights, trademark rights)
Open Data Commons Attribution License (ODC-By)
Similar to the above, but requires attribution
Creative Commons CC-Zero Waiver
Waives copyright-related rights, so not necessarily appropriate for data/ databases
Creative Commons Attribution 3.0
Did not cover database rights.
Creative Commons Attribution 4.0
Does cover sui generis database rights.
Open Database License
Problematic because of copyleft clause
