    This FUSE-base VFS (Virtual FileSystem) enables all programs to look inside archived or compressed files, or access remote files without recompiling the programs or changing the kernel. At the moment it supports floppies, tar and gzip files, zip, bzip2, ar and rar files, ftp sessions, http, webdav, rsh/rcp, ssh/scp. Quite a few other handlers are implemented with the Midnight Commander's external FS.

  • the protocol does not discuss any of the possible attractions of allowing such provisions

  • I am not really convinced by any of these points that attribution or share-alike provisions should not be included in open data licenses
  • application of obligations based on copyright in situations where it is not necessary
  • non-copyrightable elements extends to the entire database and inadvertently infringe
  • If intellectual property rights are involved

  • Why bother about openness and licensing for data
  • It’s crucial because open data is so much easier to break-up and recombine, to use and reuse.
  • want people to have incentives to make their data open and for open data to be easily usable and reusable
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • good definition of openness acts as a standard that ensures different open datasets are ‘interoperable’
  • Licensing is important because it reduces uncertainty. Without a license you don’t know where you, as a user, stand: when are you allowed to use this data? Are you allowed to give to others? To distribute your own changes, etc?
  • licensing and definitions are important even though they are only a small part of the overall picture
  • If we get them wrong they will keep on getting in the way of everything else.
  • Everyone agrees that requiring attribution is OK

      My opinion is that there should be no requirements, including attribution, and that standards should be community-based instead of legal.
  • Even if a basic license is used it can be argued that any ‘requirements’ for attribution or share-alike should not be in a license but in ‘community norms’.

      Licenses and community norms are not exclusive. It's recommended to adopt a Public Domain license, and encourage attribution through community standards.
  • A license is likely to elicit at least as much, and almost certainly more, conformity with its provisions than community norms.

      Ease of access and should be the goal, not conformity.
  • (even to a user it is easy to comply with the open license)
    • Mike Chelen
      Mike Chelen on 11 Feb 09
       
      It is important to specifically publish using a Public Domain dedication.
  • Mike Chelen on 11 Feb 09
     
    Why bother about openness and licensing for data? After all they don't matter in themselves: what we really care about are things like the progress of human knowledge or the freedom to understand and share.

    We are focused on providing tools to our users to ensure that they can add information of interest to structure-based records in ChemSpider. We have introduced DOI-based associations recently allowing users to connect publications of interest to chemical compounds on our database. The process is simple. Find the structure record of interest, use the Add DOI function and Publish. The process is outlined graphically below.
