[ogdcamp] [open-government] Workshop on licence choices within each country

Tue Nov 8 16:19:41 UTC 2011

Hi all:

I was unable to attend this workshop, which is of great interest to me. I have been chairing a group on legal interoperability of data for the Data Sharing Task Force (which I am also co-chairing) of the Group on Earth Observations. We have drafted a white paper on "Legal Options for the Exchange of Data for the GEOSS Data-CORE". The "GEOSS Data-CORE" is the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) Data-Collection of Open Resources for Everyone (CORE). We have been looking at the distinctions among and application of statutory public domain, and private law waivers, licenses, and contracts for legally implementing legal conditions of no restriction or attribution only, consistent with the GEOSS Data-CORE. The GEO Plenary meeting next week in Istanbul will take this up and adopt the summary white paper, with or without amendments. We also are preparing a longer white paper that is the analytical background for the 3-page summary and which we expect to publish next year. I cannot share the draft paper outside GEO until after the Plenary has considered it next week, but will share it with this group after that. I also am planning an international symposium/workshop at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC about a year from now on Research Data as Intellectual Property: How the Law Influences Data Sharing.

In the meantime, I would very much appreciate access to your workshop results and look forward to future interactions with this group on this topic.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi all

I wanted to thank everybody for the discussion. I will also add German view later to the pad.

Just a Word on Thomas comment: Yes, in most jurisdictions a "no-license-policy" is Not a Good choice. On the other hand in some  countries, like Germany some PSI is under Public Domain, so applying a license would actually add unnecessary restrictions - besides the fact that it is legally incorrect. in this cases the best solution might be a "Public Domain mark" that indicates the Data is allready in Public Domain so no licens is needed / applicable.
