Hi
I wonder if anyone has been looking at this and can help with a few
queries. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
1. Does the re-use of public information directive include *works of
art and film *or only the written word in any format including film and
audio?
2. Can parts of an archive collection fall outside the re-use
directive under the exceptions of performing arts organisations and their
archives?
3. How does the fair dealing clause affect value-added products? Will
archives have to pay themselves for the use of their own holdings from now
on? Can we consider in kind return as a form of payment? What is the
definition of equivalent product? Will the directive be retrospective and
affect added-value products that have been created before its
implementation in 2015?
4. Is permitting re-use still not mandatory? And can the organisation
decide whether to adhere to the rules or not? The 2010 Impact Assessment
document written by the National Archive states that for museums, libraries
and archives the discretion over whether to permit re-use remains.
5. On the matter of licences for the re-use of public sector
information, the Guidelines on recommended standard licences estates that
‘it is *ADVISABLE *for licences to cover attribution requirements only, as
any obligations may limit licensees’ creativity or economic activity,
thereby affecting the re-use potential of the documents in question. (is it
law? Can we impose restrictions to the exploitation of the material even
though this is not recommended?)
6. Do we have to contact the Treasury in order to charge a fee?
7. Does the RPI apply to EU Countries only or internationally?
Thank you
