requirements for gaining and using the Science Commons Open Access Data Mark and metadata
-
interoperability of scientific data
-
terms and conditions around data make integration difficult to legally perform
-
single license
-
data with this license can be integrated with any other data under this license
-
too many databases under too many terms already
-
unlikely that any one license or suite of licenses will have the correct mix of terms
-
principles for open access data and a protocol for implementing those principles
-
Open Access Data Mark and metadata
-
databases and data
-
the foundation to legally integrate a database or data product
-
another database or data product
-
no mechanisms to manage transfer or negotiations of rights unrelated to integration
-
submitted to Science Commons for certification as a conforming implementation
-
Open Access Data trademarks (icons and phrases) and metadata on databases
-
protocol must promote legal predictability and certainty
-
easy to use and understand
-
lowest possible transaction costs on users
-
Science Commons’ experience in distributing a database licensing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) file
-
hard to apply the distinction between what is copyrightable and what is not copyrightable
-
lack of simplicity restricts usage
-
reducing or eliminating the need to make the distinction between copyrightable and non-copyrightable elements
-
satisfy the norms and expectations of the disciplines providing the database
-
norms for citation will differ
-
norms must be attached
-
Converge on the public domain by waiving all rights based on intellectual property
-
reconstruction of the public domain
-
scientific norms to express the wishes of the data provider
-
public domain
-
waiving the relevant rights on data and asserting that the provider makes no claims on the data
-
Requesting behavior, such as citation, through norms rather than as a legal requirement based on copyright or contracts, allows for different scientific disciplines to develop different norms for citation.
-
waive all rights necessary for data extraction and re-use
-
copyright
-
sui generis database rights
-
claims of unfair competition
-
implied contracts
-
and other legal rights
-
any obligations on the user of the data or database such as “copyleft” or “share alike”, or even the legal requirement to provide attribution
-
non-legally binding set of citation norms
-
waiving other statutory or intellectual property rights
-
there are other rights, in addition to copyright, that may apply
-
uncopyrightable databases may be protected in some countries
-
sui generis rights apply in the European Union
-
waivers of sui generis and other legal grounds for database protection
-
no contractual controls
-
using contract, rather than intellectual property or statutory rights, to apply terms to databases
-
affirmatively declare that contractual constraints do not apply to the database
-
interoperation with databases and data not available under the Science Commons Open Access Data Protocol through metadata
-
data that is not or cannot be made available under this protocol
-
owner provides metadata (as data) under this protocol so that the existence of the non-open access data is discoverable
-
digital identifiers and metadata describing non-open access data
-
“Licensing” a database typically means that the “copyrightable elements” of a database are made available under a copyright license
-
Database FAQ, in its first iteration, recommended this method
-
recommendation is now withdrawn
-
copyright begins in and ends in many databases
-
database divided into copyrightable and non copyrightable elements
-
user tends to assume that all is under copyright or none is under copyright
-
share-alike license on the copyrightable elements may be falsely assumed to operate on the factual contents of a database
-
copyright in situations where it is not necessary
-
query across tens of thousands of data records across the web might return a result which itself populates a new database
-
selective waiving of intellectual property rights fail to provide a high degree of legal certainty and ease of use
-
problem of false expectations
-
apply a “copyleft” term to the copyrightable elements of a database, in hopes that those elements result in additional open access database elements coming online
-
uncopyrightable factual content
-
republish those contents without observing the copyleft or share-alike terms
-
cascading attribution if attribution is required as part of a license approach
-
Would a scientist need to attribute 40,000 data depositors in the event of a query across 40,000 data sets?
-
conflict with accepted norms in some disciplines
-
imposes a significant transaction cost
