After having lagged in developing information policy frameworks during the decade up to the mid-2000s, recent developments have seen Australian governments (at federal, state and local levels) re-position themselves close to the leading edge of policy and practice on public sector information (PSI) access and reuse. Acceptance of the recommendations proposed by committees of inquiry into the issue, the reform of Freedom of Information (FOI) laws to support proactive release of PSI, the establishment of Information Commissioner Offices by federal and State governments, the widespread adoption of Creative Commons licensing of government copyright materials and use of web 2.0 technologies to distribute PSI, demonstrate that Australian governments increasingly grasp the social and economic importance of PSI. The Australian Government’s Declaration of Open Government (July 2010) reaffirms the federal government’s commitment to this course, pursuing “open government based on a culture of engagement, built on better access to and use of government held information, and sustained by the innovative use of technology.” While real progress has been made towards the implementation of broad-reaching information strategies, attention is now required to the further development of the policy framework, the principles governing information access and re-use and practical guidance tools. A notable feature of the Australian experience is the use of open content licences (primarily Creative Commons licences) on copyright-protected PSI, not only as an operational mechanism for managing government copyright but also as a driver of information policy. By releasing their materials under non-exclusive, open content licences, government agencies have adopted a policy position that, by default, PSI that is made available for access will also be able to be used and reused.

Funding models for open access digital repositoriesrobkitchin
Across jurisdictions and domains (academia, government, business) there has been much recent attention paid to open forms of knowledge production (e.g., open-source software, open data/metadata, open infrastructures) and the creation of open digital repositories for the unrestricted sharing of data, publications and other resources. This paper focuses on the latter, documenting and critically examining 14 different funding streams, grouped into six classes (institutional, philanthropy, research, audience, service, volunteer), being pursued by open digital repositories to support their endeavours, with a particular focus on academic research data repositories. Whilst open digital repositories are free to access, they are not without significant cost to build and maintain, and unstable and cyclical funding poses considerable risks to their futures and the digital collections they hold. While the political and ethical debate concerning the merits of open access and open data is important, we argue that just as salient are concerns with respect to long-term, sustainable funding for the operation and maintenance of open access digital repositories.
Delivered by Professor Rob Kitchin, Maynooth University Co-Principal Investigator of the Digital Repository of Ireland at the 1st Annual Conference on Digital Preservation for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (DPASSH 2015). The presentation explores different funding models for open access repositories in Ireland and abroad.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Affiliate groups in numerous countries worldwide over more than 24 months
(commenced October 2011)
CC Australia has been an active participant in the drafting of the CC 4.0 licences –
including in discussions at the CC Global Summit in Buenos Aires in September
2013.
After 4 rounds of consultations and drafting, the CC 4.0 licences are close to public
launch – currently draft 4, version 2.
Some key issues considered in the development CC 4.0:
Internationalisation
Warranties and customisation of licences
Sui generis database rights
Effective technological measures
Legal code (licence terms): SA attribution (simplification)
Various changes made in CC 4.0 to format, structure and the terminology used in
the CC 3.0 licences, including CC 3.0 Australia licences.
NOTE: CC 4.0 licences do not contain an applicable law clause, unlike CC 3.0
licences, including the CC 3.0 Australia licences.

28. OECD PSI Recommendation (2008)
the “Openness” principle states:
“Maximising the availability of public sector information for use and re-use
based upon presumption of openness as the default rule to facilitate
access and re-use. Developing a regime of access principles or assuming
openness in public sector information as a default rule wherever possible
no matter what the model of funding is for the development and
maintenance of the information. Defining grounds of refusal or
limitations, such as for protection of national security interests, personal
privacy, preservation of private interests for example where protected by
copyright, or the application of national access legislation and rules.”
the “Access and transparent conditions for re-use” principle states:
“Encouraging broad non-discriminatory competitive access and conditions
for re-use of public sector information, eliminating exclusive
arrangements, and removing unnecessary restrictions on the ways in which
it can be accessed, used, re-used, combined or shared, so that in principle
all accessible information would be open to re-use by all. Improving
access to information over the Internet and in electronic form. Making
available and developing automated on-line licensing systems covering reuse in those cases where licensing is applied, taking into account the
copyright principle below.”

Principle 1 (Open access to information – a default
position):
information held by Australian Government agencies is a
valuable national resource and where “there is no legal need
to protect the information it should be open to public access”
Principle 6 (Clear reuse rights):
releasing public sector information under open licensing
terms enhances its economic and social value
the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence
should be the default licensing condition when
Australian Government agencies publish information online
34. Queensland Premier’s message at

“So that people using our data can do so
effectively, agencies must provide it in a standard way.
Agencies will:
follow metadata standards
apply clear licences (preferably open licences such as
Creative Commons)
assess and advise of data quality
outline any limitations on data use.”
35. How do people use CC licences?
To license out: use CC licences on copyright materials you
create
enable others to find your material online through using the standard
search engines; give permission to others to lawfully use your material
(eg copy, on-distribute, post to a website, value add, mashup

63. Office of the Australian Information
Commissioner (OAIC) Survey (2012)
The OAIC applies the Open PSI Principles in its role of
monitoring compliance by Australian Government
agencies with the publication objectives of the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act)
In 2012, OAIC commissioned a survey of Australian
Government agencies to understand their practices in
managing and publishing PSI
Survey conducted online between 30 April and 11 May 2012
(extended deadline to 17 May 2012)
Provides some important data on the implementation of
the Open PSI Principles
The first examination of the use of CC licensing by
Government agencies in giving effect to open government
strategies
64. OAIC Survey findings
Challenge of implementing open licensing
Of 191 agencies responding only 8.8% said that
Principle 6 (clear reuse rights) was the most
challenging to implement in practice
The most challenging aspects were:
transitioning to CC BY as the default position (53.3%)
determining an appropriate open licence (20%)
Principle 6 ranked 4th in difficulty of implementation
among the PSI Principles
By contrast, 28.2% of respondents ranked Principle 1
(open access to information as a default position) as
the most challenging PSI Principle to implement
65. OAIC Survey findings
Current or intended adoption of open licensing for
PSI
57.6% of agencies were already using the CC BY licence
or another open content licence as the default or
intended to do so within 12 months
28.3% were already using CC BY as the default licence
4.7% were using some other licence – not clear what
licence/s are being used by this group
24.6% indicated they intended to adopt CC BY or
another open content licence as the default within the
next 12 months
66. OAIC Survey findings
Amount of PSI published under open licensing
terms
48% of agencies had released all, most or at least
some of their PSI under open licensing terms
In the last 12 months, 24.6% had published all or
most of their PSI under open licensing terms that
permitted reuse
8.9% provided all their published PSI under open
licensing terms; 15.7% published most of their PSI
under these terms
A further 23% of agencies published at least some of
their PSI under open licensing terms
Only 16.9% had not used open licensing at all
67. OAIC Survey Conclusions
The OAIC Survey shows that Australian Government
agencies are embracing open access and a proactive
disclosure culture
Open licensing under CC (especially CC BY) is
increasingly prevalent
But, there is a need to further develop the policy
framework and principles governing information
access and reuse
68. OAIC Survey Conclusions
But, the OAIC Survey findings highlight the need for
further work on the development of a
[comprehensive, national] information policy or
strategy – as was recommended in the National
Innovation System review (Venturous Australia) in
2008
Open licensing strategies (based on CC) can be used to
advance open government objectives but should
operate in the context of a well-developed policy
framework
69. OAIC Survey Conclusions
The OAIC Survey also shows the need for:
practical guidance and tools to assist in the
implementation of open government information policy
and open licensing
Leadership, resources and training – more important for
smaller agencies (which lack the knowledge and
experience that has developed in the largest agencies)
