Thanks for this thread. I have enjoyed it a lot. I am a conservator working independently half-time with museum curators, epigraphers and state authorities on cuneiform tablet collections and on deepwater archaeological collaborations between archaeologists, oceanographers and engineers as well as half-time at the Fiske Center excavating historic sites collaboratively with specialists in remote sensing, zooarch, paleoethnobotany and paleoentomology and running a discussion group on developing computational imaging for artifacts. (I sometimes lose my identity <g>.) Most of these would be considered traditional, closed collaborations. Before starting a new collaboration at the Center we have learned to go over with the participants a checklist contained in a short statement from the Office of Research Integrity at the US Dept. of Health and Human Services called Preempting Discord: Prenuptial Agreements for Scientists<http://ori.hhs.gov/preempting-discord-prenuptial-agreements-scientists> This was written for biological scientists but we have found it useful as a tool to open up sharing of data among collaborators in archaeology. Perhaps it or a similar document has a place as an introduction to projects aiming for open DH collaborations.
