[okfn-br] Open Definition v2.0 Released - Major Update of Essential Standard for Open Data and Open Content

[Jorge Machado]

Olá pessoas,

Foi iniciada uma revisão da Definição de "aberto"
(http://opendefinition.org/od/), confome msg mais abaixo.

É uma oportunidade para corrigir duas coisas no que se refere a "acesso":
- parte da redação induz a um erro tanto de interpretação sobre o
significado de "one-time reproduction cost" (vejam as traduções ao
português e ao espanhol)
- e outro aspecto de fundo político ao aceitar *o acesso pago como
"aberto"* (incrível!). Essa "preferência" por ser "sem custos" tem que
cair. Tem que descer no muro :). No final, está pior que a definição de
acesso aberto da OAI
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Open_Access_Initiative#Definition_of_open_access).

O sublinhado é meu:


          1.2 Access

    The *work* shall be available as a whole and at no more than _a
    reasonable one-time reproduction cost_, _preferably__downloadable
    via the Internet __without charge_. Any additional information
    necessary for license compliance (such as names of contributors
    required for compliance with attribution requirements) /must/ also
    accompany the work.

*/Nova redação/**:*


          1.2 Access

    The *work* shall be available as a whole and without_technical
    obstacles, preferably downloadable via the Internet_. Any additional
    information necessary for license compliance (such as names of
    contributors required for compliance with attribution requirements)
    /must/ also accompany the work.

Talvez não seja o que exatamente queriam comunicar quando escreveram a
primeira versão, mas essa outra redação me parece bem mais razoável.

Outra pergunta é se vale a pena elaborar uma porposta da OKBr ou se
fazemos contribuições individuais para a consulta.

*ANN: Open Definition v2.0 Released - Major Update of Essential Standard
for Open Data and Open Content*


Today Open Knowledge and the Open Definition Advisory Council are
pleased to announce the release of version 2.0 of the Open Definition
<http://opendefinition.org/>. The Definition “sets out principles that
define openness in relation to data and content� and plays a key role
in supporting the growing open data ecosystem <http://okfn.org/opendata/>.


Recent years have seen an explosion in the release of open data by
dozens of governments including the G8. Recent estimates by McKinsey put
the potential benefits of open data at over $1 trillion and others
estimates put benefits at more than 1% of global GDP.


However, these benefits are at significant risk both from quality
problems such as “open-washing� (non-open data being passed off as
open) and from fragmentation of the open data ecosystem due to
incompatibility between the growing number of “open� licenses.


The Open Definition <http://opendefinition.org/>eliminates these risks
and ensures we realize the full benefits of open by  guaranteeing
quality and preventing incompatibility. See this recent post for more
about why the Open Definition is so important
<http://blog.okfn.org/2014/09/30/why-the-open-definition-matters-for-open-data-quality-compatibility-and-simplicity/>.


Created in 2005, this new version of the Open Definition
<http://opendefinition.org/>is the most significant revision in the
Definition’s nearly ten-year history and reflects more than a year of
discussion and consultation with the community including input from
experts involved in open data, open access, open culture, open
education, open government, and open source.  As well as major
revisions to the text there is a new process for reviewing licenses
which has been trialled with major governments including the UK.


The Open Definition was published in 2005 by Open Knowledge and is
maintained today by an expert Advisory Council. This new version of the
Open Definition <http://opendefinition.org/>is the most significant
revision in the Definition’s nearly ten-year history.


It reflects more than a year of discussion and consultation with the
community including input from experts involved in open data, open
access, open culture, open education, open government, and open source.
Whilst there are no changes to the core principles, the Definition has
been completely reworked with a new structure and revised text as well
as a new process for reviewing licenses (which has been trialled with
governments including the UK).


Herb Lainchbury, Chair of the Open Definition Advisory Council
<http://opendefinition.org/advisory-council/>, said:


‘The Open Definition describes the principles that define
“openness� in relation to data and content, and is used to assess
whether a particular licence meets that standard.  A key goal of this
new version is to make it easier to assess whether the growing number of
open licenses actually make the grade. The more we can increase
everyone’s confidence in their use of open works,  the more they will
be able to focus on creating value with open works.’


Rufus Pollock, President and Founder of Open Knowledge
<http://www.okfn.org>said:


‘Since we created the Open Definition <http://opendefinition.org/>in
2005 it has played a key role in the growing open data and open content
communities. It acts as the ‘gold standard’ for open data and
content guaranteeing quality and preventing incompatibility. As a
standard, the Open Definition plays a key role in underpinning the
‘open knowledge economy’ with a potential value that runs into the
hundreds of billions - or even trillions - worldwide.’


What’s New

In process for more than a year, the new version was collaboratively
<https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition>and openly
<https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/>developed
<https://github.com/okfn/opendefinition>withinput from e
<https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/od-discuss/>xperts involved in open
access, open culture, open data, open education, open government, open
source and wiki communities. The new version of the definition:


  *

    Has a complete rewrite of the core principles - preserving their
    meaning but using simpler language and clarifying key aspects.

  *

    Introduces a clear separation of the definition of an open license
    from an open work (with the latter depending on the former). This
    not only simplifies the conceptual structure but provides a proper
    definition of open license and makes it easier to “self-assess�
    licenses for conformance with the Open Definition.

  *

    The definition of an Open Work <http://opendefinition.org/od/>within
    the Open Definition is now a set of three key principles:

      o

        Open License: The workmust be available under an open license
        (as defined in the following section but this includes freedom
        to use, build on, modify and share).

      o

        Access: The work shall be available as a whole and at no more
        than a reasonable one-time reproduction cost, preferably
        downloadable via the Internet without charge

      o

        Open Format: The workmust be provided in a convenient and
        modifiable form such that there are no unnecessary technological
        obstacles to the performance of the licensed rights.
        Specifically, data should be machine-readable, available in
        bulk, and provided in an open format or, at the very least, can
        be processed with at least one free/libre/open-source software tool.

  *

    Includes improved license approval process to make it easier for
    license creators to check conformance of their license with the Open
    Definition and to encourage reuse of existing open licenses
    (rrareuse and outlines the process for submitting a license so that
    it can be checked for conformance against the Open Definition.
