  • 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

  • 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

  • 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
  • requirements carrying a stiff penalty for failure

#955 (importing magnet links) - The libTorrent and rTorrent Project - Trac - 0 views

bit lib magnet r torrent uri

shared by Mike Chelen on 04 Oct 08 - Cached
  • 08/31/08 12:55:48 changed by josef ¶ I've written a patch to support magnet links now. You need to check out svn rev 1065 of libtorrent/rtorrent, and get http://ovh.ttdpatch.net/~jdrexler/rt/experimental/dht-pex-static_map.diff and http://ovh.ttdpatch.net/~jdrexler/rt/experimental/magnet-uri.diff then in the directory that has the libtorrent and rtorrent subdirs you've checked out, do patch -p0 < dht-pex-static_map.diff patch -p0 < magnet-uri.diff and recompile both. It uses the official magnet protocol from Bittorrent BEP-0009 which is incompatible with Azureus and so far only supported by uTorrent 1.8+, so it'll only work if there are recent uTorrents in the swarm. It supports magnet links in both the old style base32 encoded hashes as well as the recommended URL-encoded hashes. Note that if there is one or more tracker URLs to use for the download, it must be present as "tr=..." argument in the magnet URI, because there is currently no way of adding trackers in rtorrent afterwards, so without that it'll use DHT and nothing else. After opening a magnet URI, it will add a meta download to download the actual torrent info. When that is complete, it is replaced by the real torrent. The meta data is saved in your standard torrent download directory, you can delete that after the real torrent has appeared, or you can keep it in case you need to open the same magnet URI again.

    Importing magnet links would be great, because some sites only have magnet links. Mayby something like this:

open public science data license

  • Peter Murray-Rust and others at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at Cambridge
  • conversation we had over lunch with Peter, Jim Downing, Nico Adams, Nick Day and Rufus Pollock
  • appropriate way to license published scientific data
  • ...27 more annotations...
  • value of share-alike or copyleft provisions of GPL and similar licenses
  • spreading the message and use of Open Content
  • prevent “freeloaders” from being able to use Open material and not contribute back to the open community
  • presumption in this view is that a license is a good, or at least acceptable, way of achieving both these goals
  • allow people the freedom to address their concerns through copyleft approaches
  • Rufus
  • concerned more centrally with enabling re-use and re-purposing of data as far as is possible
  • make it easy for researchers to deliver on their obligations
  • worried by the potential for licensing to make it harder to re-use and re-mix disparate sets of data and content into new digital objects
  • “license”, will have scientists running screaming in the opposite direction
  • we focused on what we could agree on
  • common position statement
  • area of best practice for the publication of data that arises from public science
  • there is a window of opportunity to influence funder positions
  • data sharing policies
  • “following best practice”
  • don’t tend to be concerned about freeloading
  • providing clear guidance and tools
  • if it is widely accepted by their research communities
  • “best practice is X”
  • enable re-use and re-purposing of that data
  • share-alike approaches as a community expectation
  • Explicit statements of the status of data are required and we need effective technical and legal infrastructure to make this easy for researchers.
  • “Where a decision has been taken to publish data deriving from public science research, best practice to enable the re-use and re-purposing of that data, is to place it explicitly in the public domain via {one of a small set of protocols e.g. cc0 or PDDL}.”
  • focuses purely on what should be done once a decision to publish has been made
  • data generated by public science
  • describing this as best practice it also allows deviations that may, for whatever reason, be justified by specific people in specific circumstances
