In the role play questions I see little or no evidence that this is relevant
to Data Protection. They speak of items of intellectual property, not data
records. In order to apply to this specialist arena the entire survey would
need to be reworded.

Study
First of all, many thanks for your interest and responses.
In response to Tim's remarks, in order to keep the survey truly anonymous we
decided not to include any identifier information in the questionnaire.
However to be entered into the prize draw an email was sent asking those who
had filled the questionnaire to send me their email address.
So there is a prize draw and everyone who has emailed me has been entered
into it automatically.
This relates to Data Protection in that we are looking on the concept of
ownership and how it affects the exchange of information. Both the FOI and
DPA Acts deal with the transfer and exchange of information. This survey
looks at how beliefs of ownership affect the transfer of information and
knowledge. Thus even though we are looking at the impact of beliefs of
ownership on the exchange of information and knowledge in the general sense,
we believe that it applies also to Data Protection precepts. We also believe
its results can be applied in this arena.
Thanks,
Kind Regards
Ugo
