The document discusses issues and challenges around public licensing of biodiversity data and publications. It provides examples of international efforts like the Conservation Commons and GBIF that aim to make biodiversity data openly accessible online. However, fully realizing open access for government-funded biodiversity data in Taiwan faces challenges including unclear intellectual property rights and reluctance of researchers and agencies to openly share unpublished data and publications. Potential solutions proposed include requiring funded biodiversity projects to submit digitized raw data and establishing guidelines for cross-agency sharing of such data.
