Yes I am quite confident that a lot of the work on jisc/rluk Discovery is pretty good, and it builds on experience of linked data too, and open data (admin and other) - there is a licensing guide since we are proposing open metadata as the key issue within discovery the licensing here is our (jisc) position at this time.



We're also of course having to deal with this in the research data space and it is in line with the Discovery approaches. The Research Data Alliance (global forum driven tho by us/europe/aus) will *probably* have a group that looks at this issue and shared practice. In research data defining open data is important - very - since ethical and personal data issues are rife and must be protected.

There are some interesting issues surrounding open data and licences with the Discovery Project, although not quite a repository: http://discovery.ac.uk/vision/#outputs

There are also some recent government initiatives on the issue of open data as well, which were announced earlier this month in The Guardian and elsewhere.

A fifth was off a small sample, doubt it would tally with a bigger sample

Jisc - as in - if I had on OER I could put it into jorum (national repo) but there isn't (afaik) a national data repo. Hence using data hub, but that worries me as it involves even more license issues

CC fits for OER, but for things like course data feeds the OGL (open govt licence, for those not involved with these things) is a good fit, particularly because it doesn't require attribution I think. (Someone can correct me). And then there are the projects JISC is involved with in the galleries/libraries/archives/museums (GLAM) sector, which are somewhere in between the two, I guess, as often publicly-funded content-centric organisations http://openglam.org/2012/06/15/opening-up-your-metadata-challenges-standards-and-tools/ . So I'm not sure there is a single answer. Seems to be very much an emerging issue.
