Abstract

Stéphane Joost (research and teaching associate at LASIG) shares his experience in data publication. It includes three cases with unexpected facets: - Publishers’ requirements: what to do when publishing data is compulsory, whereas the data provider prohibits it? - Case of the cartography of a wildlife reserve in Namibia: it is important to publish in open access to share knowledge on the reserve. However, this kind of information can lead to bad use by poachers. How to find the right balance ? - The Nextgen data case: balance between the interests of the scientific community to access the data and the needs of data producers to receive recognition for their work.

Data

In common usage and statistics, data (USˈdætə; UKˈdeɪtə) is a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally. A datum is an individual value in a collection of data. Data is usually organized into structures such as tables that provide additional context and meaning, and which may themselves be used as data in larger structures.

Open access

Open access (OA) is a set of principles and a range of practices through which research outputs are distributed online, free of access charges or other barriers. Under some models of open access publishing, barriers to copying or reuse are also reduced or removed by applying an open license for copyright. The main focus of the open access movement is "peer reviewed research literature". Historically, this has centered mainly on print-based academic journals.

Open data

Open data is data that is openly accessible, exploitable, editable and shared by anyone for any purpose. Open data is licensed under an open license. The goals of the open data movement are similar to those of other "open(-source)" movements such as open-source software, open-source hardware, open content, open specifications, open education, open educational resources, open government, open knowledge, open access, open science, and the open web. The growth of the open data movement is paralleled by a rise in intellectual property rights.
