Groups audience:
Dear colleagues,
Attached (see below) is an initial outline of the Implementation
Guidelines for the draft Principles on Legal Interoperability of Research
Data. Also included (again) is a draft of the Principles themselves and
final version of the discussion agenda for our breakout session tomorrow
afternoon at 4:00 p.m. Finally, there is an updated set of instructions for
the case studies, which have gone from the initial product to the last one. We
will have these documents available as handouts at the session.
Please provide your written comments on the draft Principles and the
Implementation Guidelines outline by Monday, March 23. We will resume our
regularly scheduled conference calls later that week
Thanks,
Paul, Enrique, and Bob

HI,
I agree that “Attribution and citation are an essential part of the research process for providing appropriate credit…” and also that “ They should be encouraged
through community norms rather than through legal requirements.”
I think this point is important, because when later studies integrate data from many sources, the requirement to give attribution becomes onerous. Social norms can ensure that behaviour is usually appropriate. I doubt whether any legal wording could properly express the appropriate obligations if a researcher for example:
- Downloads the whole Protein Data Bank
- Develops and runs some analysis code, and publishes some generalisations about the evolution of protein folds
- Illustrates the general conclusions by comments on some specific proteins
- Does not mention in the paper other specific database entries which were edge cases during the code development
Being able to do research like this is a great benefit of open data. But the obligations to cite that arise are subtle.
Regards,
Chris Morris

Dear colleagues
Attached you will find some amendment proposals to the outline of the
Implementation Guidelines. I beg the native English speakers to correct
language errors.
Best regards,
