[open-science] open-science Digest, Vol 17, Issue 7

Tue Mar 23 13:36:37 UTC 2010

Dear Daniel,

Thanks -- I like the tone of the revised version. I am guessing discussion of the alternatives to fully open data, in cases where privacy cannot be protected, is beyond the scope of these FAQs (in which case no further information is needed)?

Best regards,

Iain

Dear Iain,

on the first point, what do you think of the current phrasing
"Respecting the privacy of research subjects should be an integral
part of the decision whether to make the data Open."?

With kind regards,

Daniel
