[pd-discuss] How to build a public domain calculator?

Thu Nov 19 08:02:47 UTC 2009

Hi Jonathan,

Should we not put some of these things (including your blogpost on OKFN)
on the Communia website? 1) to get involvement and 2) to show that we
reached results during our working group?

Best regards,

Lucie

Hi all,

Christina Angelopoulos (at IViR) and I are going to be building on
work from the recent meeting [1] to make it easy for legal experts and
others to contribute towards a public domain calculator in their
country.

So far we've got the following questionnaire:

RlNXJsQmQzU3c6MA

Which refers to a generic 'skeleton' public domain flow chart at:

copyright.pdf

Christina has also kindly donated us the following list of questions
(aimed at EU countries) asking about how the Term Directive has been
implemented:

  http://wiki.okfn.org/PublicDomainCalculators/Questions

Christina: I understand that these are the 'simple' questions, and
that you also had more complex questions? Should we also put these
online for reference purposes?

I guess the next step will be:

  1. To improve the Google Docs spreadsheet above in light of
Christina's questions and any other suggestions.
  2. To create a basic 'landing page' explaining the purpose, perhaps
at: http://wiki.okfn.org/PublicDomainCalculators/GettingStarted
  3. To circulate this to relevant parties, and to identify/contact
individuals and groups in as many jurisdictions as possible.
