Creative Commons and open data[bases]
● Develops, supports, stewards legal and tech infrastructure for sharing on web
● 2010: 400M
● includes licensing and PD solutions for data[bases]
● people have licensed data[bases] under CC since 2001
Why the extra care about data[bases] now?
● explosion in data sharing; if permitted uses not clear, chaos rules
● in general increasing adoption of licensing solutions for data[bases]
○ CC licenses, CC0, PDDL, ODC-BY, ODbL
● primary threat = not sharing/proprietary data
● what should CC's role be? shift from tool supplier to commons steward
● if yes, put global scalability, interoperability, standards at front
Ongoing interoperability challenges
● incompatible open licenses (copyleft mostly)● proliferation of semi-custom terms● use of non-open public licenses (NC, ND)● no licensing, ad hoc sharing, no sharing
...and related
● CC licenses inadequately address sui generis database rights; thus entered ODC, OGL, etc.
● communications/perception problem that CC not appropriate for data
● many agree: publicly funded science should be PD
CC license version 4.0
● process starting soon; need your help
● will address big and small; "future proof" the licenses
● top of interoperability "fix list" is sui generis db rights handling
● licensing db rights, like copyright, to extent applies--this is one option, and needs extreme care
● many CC affiliate stakeholders
● Warsaw Sept 2011 = CC Global Summit
