[LTER-im] Database and Creative Content Licensing

[Corinna Gries]

HI Ken,

That would be the database. We didn't contribute any creative content, only data.

Hi Corinna,

Did you decide on option #2 for Creative Content (CC-by) or Databases (ODC-by)? Thanks.

Per Don Henshaw's request, I will share the responses I receive. So far, I have heard from AND, KBS, and NTL.

Hi Ken,
We decided license #2, attribution, would match what we have listed best. We are not really asking for share alike. Although, I agree, it is a good idea.

Hi,

We recently had a request to include Jornada biodiversity data in a publication that led to discussion about the Jornada and LTER Network data policies. Here is a link to the Database and Creative Content licensing page for their project:
http://synergy.st-andrews.ac.uk/biotime/data-policy/

We were asked to select the appropriate license type for our data. John Anderson and I were wondering how other information managers have dealt with this type of request.

We plan to select Open Licenses for Databases, option 3, Attribution and share-alike with the requirement of an attribution statement as follows:
"Data sets were provided by the Jornada Basin Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) project. Funding for these data was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation (Grant DEB-1235828)."

The only downside to this selection seems to be that commercial use would be allowed which does not comply with our current data policies.

We would like to hear from other IMs to see if there is some consensus across the LTER Network as mapping the LTER and site data policies to those of other organization was not foreseen. Please reply to this message promptly so we can include any feedback we receive in our response to the paper author which we hope to provide to them this week.

Ken
