Hello All, I am just on my way to CASRAI UK meeting and was going to include licence terminology in my suggestions for something that CASRAI could help with so I will mention RDA and perhaps we can connect up. I have been doing some work with the CREATe project in our law department and Jisc around dataset licencing and it became apparent that some of the terminology was open to interpretation. Hope to speak soon and please do let us know if CASRAI might provide a useful forum to host a terminology or facilitate discussion. Happy to catch a chat.

I also touched briefly on two generic ‘restricted’ use licences that we have also come up with as a further extension of those closed ones. Whilst there I was chatting with Dom from JISC and he suggested that these licences would be of interest to this RDA group and urged me to join and attend the next session in Helsinki if I could. I’ve not yet been in the RDA circuit yet, but it’s something that I had earmarked as a possibility, so this might be a good place to start. > > It would be great to take this forward as a community if there really isn’t anything out there already. > > Your email does indicate one way to approach this and I do see the merits in it, especially as it is similar to the classification that you see for CC licences as to which licence permits what. However, the question that we’ve been posed with from both our users and internally when figuring out how to advertise our datasets to various stakeholders, is whether a given use-type is permitted under the licence, as opposed to then what the subsequent requirements are under the terms of the licence. E.g. a licence may permit use for teaching and research only (i.e. personal or commercial use is ruled out), but stipulate the requirement to cite the information source appropriately. Both angles are important I think. > > Cheers, > graham > > From: Research Data Management discussion list <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of "Clement, Gail P." <[log in to unmask]> > Reply-To: Research Data Management discussion list <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Tuesday, 18 June 2019 at 21:03 > To: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Re: Licence classifications > > Dear Graham and All, > > Thanks for this timely posting! As your message reflects, this is a topic of intense interest to the research data management community. To that end, the Research Data Alliance/CODATA Group on Legal Interoperability of Research Data is looking at a process of developing a taxonomy of standardized electronic rights statements and reuse restrictions in use with datasets or repositories.
