Many of the stories and case studies shared at this conference highlight just how important the art of collaboration is to ensuring successful projects and initiatives.

This document discusses copyright considerations for research data. It explains that primary research data and secondary data may be protected by copyright or database rights. Whether copyright protects research data depends on how the data is created, shared, and reused. Special considerations include determining who owns the copyright - the researcher, university, or research funder. Permission should always be checked when planning to share or reuse data due to variations in copyright laws between jurisdictions. Resources are provided to help researchers understand copyright as it relates to sharing and using research data, including on social media platforms.
The document discusses the difficulties of text and data mining (TDM) for a research project between the British Library and several universities. It summarizes that:
1) While the UK copyright law contains a TDM exception, it was not drafted with research partnerships in mind and does not allow the British Library to share digitized content with research partners.
2) Practical difficulties in assessing and obtaining permissions for the huge amount of copyrighted content were addressed through high-level content analysis, spot checks, and managing risks.
3) The British Library addressed legal difficulties by having partners temporarily join the library and access digitized content on a secure server, then deleting the content after use.

The quotation exception in educational and scholarly contextsCILIP
The quotation exception allows for use of copyrighted works without permission under certain conditions. It was introduced into UK law in 2014 and is broader than traditionally understood. Recent CJEU rulings have interpreted the scope of quotation to include use of entire works if needed for the purpose and in accordance with fair practice. Quotation could benefit cultural and education institutions by allowing greater expressive use of works, though unpublished works and commercial education uses may be more limited.
