Hi Richard, we appreciate the email and the article. We will definitely put a discussion of it on the agenda of one of the group's calls, with the possibility of forming a WG as part of our work to internationalize your app. We hold the calls about every two weeks and are currently working on the Implementation Guidelines for the Principles. The calls are scheduled at 9:00 EDT on every other Friday, which I believe is about midnight your time (sorry). The next call is this Friday and I will send an agenda for it in the next message.2 | Add new comment

Responses to OSTP directive
All: these developments should inform our discussions of the implementation guidelines, Bernard FYI: after NASA and USGS, NSF has now published its response to the White House OSTP open access memo: http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/public_access/ AAAS reported:0 | Add new comment

No copyright in facts
by Chris Morris
To be precise: data, in the sense of a body of facts, cannot be copyrighted. For example, the white pages in a telephone directory are not protected by copyright. Nor can facts the patented. A document that presents a selection of facts can be copyright. An idea about how to apply a fact can be patented. In a research context this is sometimes helpful and sometimes unhelpful. But the problem isn’t IP in data as such. Regards, Chris Morris STFC1 | Add new comment

Hey All, I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself, and send my apologies for not being able to attend the upcoming conference call (2am NZ time!). Alongside Mark Gahegan, we have been developing a model of reasoning, bundled up as an app that aims to assist researchers navigate some of the complexity surrounding copyright. As I won’t be able to attend, I thought I’d include some of my thoughts below, which I appreciate may be a topic of conversation for another day:0 | Add new comment

Re: [rda-legalinterop-ig] A smartphone app for understanding copyright on research data
by Paul Uhlir
Dear colleagues, We will resume our conference calls this Friday at 9:00 a.m. EDT to complete the Principles, Implementation Guidelines, and possibly even the case studies by the next RDA meeting. Attached are the draft Principles and Guidelines in redline format. The discussion agenda is as follows: 1. We will discuss the Principles first and may well complete that discussion this Friday. 2. If so, we will move on to the Implementation Guidelines and discuss them2 | Add new comment

A smartphone app for understanding copyright on research data
by Mark Gahegan
I very much enjoyed the discussion at yesterday's meeting. In case you have an interest, the attached article describes a smartphone app (built by Richard Hosking, my PhD student) that reasons over copyright affordances and responsibilities that are attached to data files you might want to use or even combine. (it uses the Carneades defeasible reasoner at the backend, from the legal-computation community) Regards, Prof. Mark Gahegan (University of Auckland)1 | Add new comment

by Andy Turner
I agree. If the research generates metadata that indicates what data were used in the conduct of the research and what data are used in the production of a specific result based on a program then all is good from a scientific standpoint. More than details of data are wanted in the metadata, to detail computational requirements and parameterisation. In parameterising, a large amount of data could be used, and this is where the line between software and input data gets a bit fuzzy.0 | Add new comment

Implementation Guidelines outline for the Legal Interoperability Principles and updated agenda for breakout session
by Paul Uhlir
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.2 | Add new comment
