[open-linguistics] Open Linguistics workshop/meetup at OKCon 2011?

Sat May 28 18:14:24 UTC 2011

Pablo,

I find this whitepaper from (Science/Neuro/Creative)Commons to be a good
starting point, at least when it comes to the legal side of things:
http://neurocommons.org/report/data-publication.pdf
<http://neurocommons.org/report/data-publication.pdf>(see also
http://cyberling.org/node/31)

*So maybe it would be worth considering something along the lines of an
online journal by the OKF that allows people to publish articles describing
their oepn datasets, methodology for creation, intended applications, etc.?*

Should this be an all-purpose OKFN data journal or something discipline
specific in your view? I agree that publishing new data should be tied to
the notion of a journal/publication -- people sitting on valuable datasets
will rarely make then available unless they feel it's in the form of a
"real", citable publication.

A colleague in communications who studies the Internet's effect on science
conducted a survey recently in which he asked people (among other things)
about their readiness to make data freely available. The results were not
very uplifting: about 10% of the respondents would share openly, some with a
password (30%), the majority won't share at all.

Best,

Cornelius
