Lessons learned so far
»» open data is more labour than simple open access pfd-files
- both for authors and publishers
»» additional questions:
selection, documentation, citation, formats, curation, etc.
»» other countries and disciplines (especially natural sciences like
archeobiology, archeozoology, anthropology, ...) lead the way
»» additional factors:
technical infrastructure, legal complexity, longterm finances
