2. It describes three European projects (OpenAIRE, OpenMinTeD, and OpenUP) that provide services for open science by facilitating access, discovery, and analysis of research information across domains and borders.
3. These services aim to make science more open and reproducible by linking related research outputs together for intelligent discovery, transparency, and reproducibility while addressing the diverse needs of different research communities and disciplines.
1) The document summarizes the Horizon 2020 Open Data Pilot, which requires projects in certain areas to make research data openly available.
2) It outlines the benefits of open data such as faster scientific breakthroughs and economic benefits.
3) Key requirements of the pilot include depositing data in a research repository, making it accessible and reusable by third parties, and developing a Data Management Plan. The document provides guidance and tools to help researchers comply.
The Open Research Data Pilot: Personal Data and PSI Rules, Andreas Wiebe and ...OpenAIRE
The document discusses the European Union's Open Research Data Pilot project, which aims to make research data openly available and reusable. It finds that if research data contains personal data, data protection rules would apply. However, the open access use of personal data required by the Pilot conflicts with key data protection principles of purpose limitation and data minimization. Neither research exceptions nor participant consent could legitimate the open sharing of personal data as required by the Pilot. For personal data to be shared openly, effective anonymization would be needed.
This document discusses open science requirements in Horizon Europe, the EU research and innovation programme for 2021-2027. It summarizes key points from the general model grant agreement, including requirements for beneficiaries to disseminate results, provide open access to publications, and manage research data according to FAIR principles. Beneficiaries must deposit publications and data in repositories under open licenses, with some exceptions, and provide information to enable validation and re-use of results. They must also develop a plan for exploiting and disseminating results.
This document summarizes the agenda for the 8th OpenAIRE workshop on Legal Issues in Open Research Data held on April 4, 2017 at the University of Barcelona. The workshop included presentations on legal studies regarding making data open and interoperable, lessons learned from the Horizon 2020 Open Research Data Pilot, and a panel discussion. It also featured breakout sessions on text and data mining, data privacy and handling sensitive data, and licenses and access rights. The workshop concluded with a wrap-up and reports from the breakout session rapporteurs.
This document discusses the work of the WG3 Legal Interoperability working group for the OpenMinTeD project. The goal of the working group is to study copyright and related rights restrictions on text and data mining (TDM) activities and identify contractual and licensing tools to support TDM. It outlines legal barriers like copyright and database rights, as well as exceptions and limitations. It also discusses the use of licenses to enable access and how policy choices could address limitations of licenses. The working group's deliverables will include a compatibility matrix of licenses and ongoing analysis presented in academic papers.
This document discusses legal interoperability issues regarding open data licensing. It notes that for data to be freely mixed and reused, licensing needs to allow this legally without prohibitive transaction costs. Several existing open data licenses are described, but perfect legal interoperability is difficult to achieve. Best practices include using licenses like CC0 that are "universal donors" and promoting reuse of data licensed under ShareAlike. National open data licenses should strive for harmonization and avoid custom licenses when possible.

Legal interoperability of open government data is challenged by different licensing schemes that limit mixing of data from multiple sources. The document discusses this issue, outlines various open data licenses (e.g. Creative Commons, Open Data Commons), and notes implications for license stewards and users. Universal "donor" licenses like CC0 and PDDL enable full interoperability, while BY and SA licenses provide varying levels of interoperability depending on attribution and derivative work requirements.

This summarises my full report on the role and responsibilities of online intermediaries re copyright infringement, June 2011. The conclusion is that the rush to graduated response solutions is premature given their drawbacks and that legal attention should first go to creating better legal frameworks for facilitating legal online content delivery.
Webinar presented live on May 11, 2017.
As data is increasingly accessed and shared across geographic boundaries, a growing web of conflicting laws and regulations dictate where data can be transferred, stored, and shared, and how it is protected. The Object Management Group® (OMG®) and the Cloud Standards Customer Council™ (CSCC™) recently completed a significant effort to analyze and document the challenges posed by data residency. Data residency issues result from the storage and movement of data and metadata across geographies and jurisdictions.
Attend this webinar to learn more about data residency:
• How it may impact users and providers of IT services (including but not limited to the cloud)
• The complex web of laws and regulations that govern this area
• The relevant aspects – and limitations -- of current standards and potential areas of improvement
• How to contribute to future work

School of rocking copyright 2017 in Lisbon centrumcyfrowe
The document discusses copyright reform in the European Union, outlining the current problems with copyright law, the proposals from the European Commission, and recommendations from education advocates. It analyzes proposals around exceptions for education and text and data mining, as well as a new neighboring right for publishers. Overall, it argues the Commission's proposals do not go far enough to modernize copyright for uses like education across the EU.
This document discusses how international trade agreements can threaten technological innovation and public interests if they are negotiated without transparency and take digital freedoms for granted. It argues that agreements are expanding copyright holder rights and limiting exceptions, while also pressuring internet service providers. If these issues are not addressed, agreements like ACTA, TPP, and CETA could impede innovation by overriding exceptions to copyright, requiring websites and ISPs to censor content, and forcing disclosure of customer identities. The document calls for citizens to get involved in policymaking to protect the open internet.
A brief introduction to Linked Data Licensing, Rights Expression Languages and Linked Data Business Models given on September 6, 2013 at the I-SEMANTICS 2013, the 9th international conference on semantic systems, in Graz, Austria.
This document discusses the legality of text and data mining (TDM) in Europe. TDM can infringe on copyrights and database rights unless permitted by a license or exception. Currently, only the UK and France have exceptions explicitly allowing non-commercial TDM. The EU is proposing a new mandatory exception, but it may still be limited to non-commercial research. The OpenMinTeD project aims to identify legal tools to support TDM through recommending licenses and lobbying for legislation balancing exclusive rights with exceptions.
This document discusses license interoperability and the lack thereof between different license models. It notes that public domain and Creative Commons Attribution licenses allow for the highest degree of interoperability, while share-alike licenses and those with non-commercial clauses present problems and legal uncertainty. National open data licenses also attempt to address interoperability but still face issues around privacy, trademarks and other concerns beyond just copyright. Overall license complexity and the interaction of copyright with other laws pose challenges to achieving full legal interoperability between works.
"Addressing primary “modalities of constraint" on open and effective access t...Tom Moritz
This document discusses challenges around open access to scientific data generated by small independent studies, also known as "small science". It notes that unlike large collaborative "big science" fields which have established norms and infrastructure for data sharing, data from small science is often not deposited in public repositories or openly shared due to a lack of standards and incentives. The document argues that free and open access to scientific data should be the norm regardless of the size or nature of the research in order to advance scientific progress.
This document discusses the RECODE project which aims to provide policy recommendations for open access to research data in Europe. It focuses on work package 3 which examines the legal and ethical issues around open data licensing. The benefits of open data include furthering research and innovation, but there are also challenges to address like intellectual property concerns, data protection laws, and differences in disciplinary standards. Interviews with case study representatives and legal/policy experts are being conducted to identify barriers and good practices regarding open data licensing and access. Recommendations will focus on exploring licensing solutions, technical or institutional remedies to legal problems, and clarifying what types of data can and cannot be openly shared.
Open licensing workshop at OGP Civil Society DayCreative Commons
This document discusses the importance of open licensing for open government initiatives. It argues that open licensing provides legal clarity, prevents chilling effects, and maximizes reuse of government information. It describes how Creative Commons licenses work by allowing copyright holders to choose which rights to reserve and which to grant. The document recommends using CC0 to waive copyright and the Open Definition as a baseline for open licenses. The goal is to establish consistent, interoperable licensing that minimizes restrictions and maximizes reuse of government information.
Technology Transfer: Global trends in Tech TransferBananaIP Counsels
This document discusses intellectual property rights (IPRs) and technology transfer. It begins by outlining the objectives of understanding the intangible nature of IPRs, appreciating how IPRs provide competitive advantages, and gaining an overview of the legal bases for technology transfer. It then discusses several topics in more detail, including the economic and social rationales for IPRs, how IPRs contribute to intangible assets like reputation and brand value, pressures in enforcing IPRs globally, managing intellectual capital and assets, types of offshore collaboration, legal aspects of technology transfer, risks involved, and frameworks for regulating international transfer of technology and publicly funded technology.
First presented on April 4, 2018 at Deconomy event in Seoul, South Korea. Based on a previous presentation on the same topic at the Smart Cloud event held on September 21, 2016 also in Seoul.
The document discusses issues around data protection and privacy in a world of global data sharing, particularly in the context of scientific research. It outlines challenges like determining data ownership and control when data is shared globally online. It also summarizes key concepts and principles from the European Union's data protection directive, including rules around transferring personal data outside of the EU. Potential solutions discussed include revising the EU directive to better accommodate open data and scientific research.

Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

Evaluation and Identification of J'BaFofi the Giant Spider of Congo and Moke...MrSproy
ABSTRACT
The J'BaFofi, or "Giant Spider," is a mainly legendary arachnid by reportedly inhabiting the dense rain forests of
the Congo. As despite numerous anecdotal accounts and cultural references, the scientific validation remains more elusive.
My study aims to proper evaluate the existence of the J'BaFofi through the analysis of historical reports,indigenous
testimonies and modern exploration efforts.
This presentation offers a general idea of the structure of seed, seed production, management of seeds and its allied technologies. It also offers the concept of gene erosion and the practices used to control it. Nursery and gardening have been widely explored along with their importance in the related domain.

Mapping the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes as a Function of Galaxy Stella...Sérgio Sacani
The growth of supermassive black holes is strongly linked to their galaxies. It has been shown that the population
mean black hole accretion rate (BHAR) primarily correlates with the galaxy stellar mass (Må) and redshift for the
general galaxy population. This work aims to provide the best measurements of BHAR as a function of Må and
redshift over ranges of 109.5 < Må < 1012 Me and z < 4. We compile an unprecedentedly large sample with 8000
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 1.3 million normal galaxies from nine high-quality survey fields following a
wedding cake design. We further develop a semiparametric Bayesian method that can reasonably estimate BHAR
and the corresponding uncertainties, even for sparsely populated regions in the parameter space. BHAR is
constrained by X-ray surveys sampling the AGN accretion power and UV-to-infrared multiwavelength surveys
sampling the galaxy population. Our results can independently predict the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) from
the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF), and the prediction is consistent with the observed XLF. We also try adding
external constraints from the observed SMF and XLF. We further measure BHAR for star-forming and quiescent
galaxies and show that star-forming BHAR is generally larger than or at least comparable to the quiescent BHAR.

Mites normally feed on the undersurface of the leaves but the symptoms are more easily seen on the uppersurface.
Tetranychids produce blotching (Spots) on the leaf-surface.
Tarsonemids and Eriophyids produce distortion (twist), puckering (Folds) or stunting (Short) of leaves.
Eriophyids produce distinct galls or blisters (fluid-filled sac in the outer layer)
Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coastsSérgio Sacani
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.
Compositions of iron-meteorite parent bodies constrainthe structure of the pr...Sérgio Sacani
Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

specific focus on licensing

2. Open Access
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
“… free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read,
download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles,
crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any
other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than
those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint
on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain,
should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to
be properly acknowledged and cited” (Budapest Open Access Initiative)
3. Possible Issues
1) Copyright exists in most cases where articles,
publications, datasets, etc are created;
2) SGDR and other rights even in absence of originality;
3) Limited and fragmented presence of ELCs, absence
of broad standards such as fair use in US
4) Other legal hurdles
5) Licences may work but are not the perfect solution
6) Examples
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
4. Legal barriers
Copyright and rights related to copyright (e.g. Sui generis database right (SGDR))
● These rights usually restrict the reproduction (copy) and distribution of protected works and
databases with substantial investment (e.g. Art 2 InfoSoc Directive and Arts. 5 and 7 Database
Directive)
● Problem: reproduction is defined very broadly by EU law (any temporary or permanent copy of
the whole or part of a work, etc); SGDR restricts copies of substantial parts and repeated
copies of insubstantial parts
● Therefore any TDM (or any other act) which requires any temporary copy of the original work or
DB or part thereof infringes protected works and/or SGDR
● Privacy/data protection
Protects personal data (e.g. databases containing names, addresses, age, sex, etc).
One of the most important elements is the concept of consent: data subject can give consent for treatment of his/her data (e.g. in a DB). But
such consent needs to be specific for a purpose. Consent cannot be given for any type of use (like e.g. copyright licences). Therefore, all data
subjects may have to give their consent for every new use, something difficult to foresee in an open research environment (Open Science)
● PSI
Public Sector Information legislation is based on a different paradigm than other approaches (e.g. U.S. where works of Federal Government
are not protected in the U.S.). PSI 2013 has an “open by default” approach but copyright and other similar rights and personal data are object
of specific exclusion and therefore PB are under no obligation to make them accessible and/or reusable. Plus, FoA remains MS competence.
● Contracts/terms of use
Even when no rights exist on a specific BD (because there is no originality, no substantial investment, no personal data, etc) terms of use of
data provider may restrict use and redistribution of DB. This limitation is based on a contractual relationship but is still an enforceable obligation
(although there are differences). See ECJ in Ryanair v PR Aviation
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
5. Exceptions to legal barriers:
● Copyright and rights related to copyright
● Exception and limitations to copyright (ELC), fair dealing, fair use. ELC are only partially
harmonised (e.g. in EU 1 mandatory plus 20 at discretion of MS). Internationally, even more
differences.
● For TDM in EU possible exception for research and teaching. Problem: it is not uniformly
implemented in all MS and it is often limited to partial copies. It is also limited to non commercial
activities and only for illustration for teaching and research. Art. 5(1) is mandatory but limited in
scope. Absence of general open norm (e.g. US fair use; UK fair dealing is narrower)
● Recently, UK introduced a limitation to copyright and related rights for acts of TDM for non
commercial purposes and for legally accessed sources on the basis of the EU ELC for research.
In draft for a Directive for Copyright in DSM EC has introduced a mandatory TDM exception, not
limited by contracts (but yes by TPM) which is only available to research organisations (contrast
this with e.g. US where most TDM are considered “transformative” uses, therefore covered by
fair use).
● Privacy/data protection
Anonymisation of data (removal of personal data) but this is time/money consuming and may reduce the usefulness of DB
● PSI
PSI legislation does not affect FoA (Freedom of Access) legislation which is MS power. But if MS empower FoA legislation then
PSI “reusable by default” rule applies. However, limitation regarding copyright and personal data still applies
● Contracts/terms of use
These are private agreements so there are no real exceptions. However, certain regulations (antitrust, abusive clauses, consumer protection)
could under certain circumstances invalidate specific terms. This is however a case per case issue and does not seem to constitute a sound
course of action.
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
6. Licences and licence
compatibility
● Licences are permissions/authorisations (contract or otherwise based) that allow one or more
parties to perform certain activities.
● Licences (so called esp. in the field of copyright) may be directed to a plurality of subjects and be
drafted in standard forms or had hoc
● Some licences are usually called public licences (e.g. CCPL = Creative Commons Public Licence,
GPL = General Public Licence, etc).
● In certain fields Open Content Licences (e.g. CCPL, CC0, EPL, etc) are used to grant a
permission to perform acts (copy, redistribute, modify, etc) in relation to a work of authorship or
other subject matter (e.g. a DB), under certain conditions (Attribution, Non Derivatives, Share
Alike, Non Commercial, etc).
● A possible problem is “licence proliferation”, i.e. too many (and possibly incompatible) licences.
Therefore, there is a general consensus that new licences should not be created unless really
necessary.
● Some projects (e.g. OpenMinTeD, OpenAire) promote Legal Interoperability through analysis of
legal documents and compatibility matrix.
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
7. Inner limits of licences
● Licences are a powerful instrument but not perfect…
● “Private ordering tool” i.e. can we entrust a private law tool with a function that should
be a matter of public interest/intervention (wider access to knowledge)?
● Licences are a voluntary tool, i.e. only if the owner of Work/DB is willing to grant you
access, licences work. If work owner says no, there is no remedy based on contracts
that can force him/her to deal with you.
● Even if DB is willing to employ licences, very often there are problems of correct
labelling (legal code, metadata, etc) of resources. This is a very serious issue faced
in many projects in TDM and in science/academia.
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
8. Policy recommendations best
practices
● Through proper policy choices some of other disadvantages can be fixed.
● Recommending 1 or a very limited no. of licences which are compatible (fixing
problem of licence incompatibility)
● Crucial importance that data providers, funding agencies, scientific and public
institutions require use of correct licences and subject grants or funding to the
correct implementation of those licences (fixing problems of “voluntarity” and
“labeling”)
● Influence public debate so that legislative intervention in the field is appropriate
(e.g. definition of right of reproduction, harmonisation of ELC, need of a broader
standard for ELC, limit of non commercial exception such as in UK).
● Many projects in EU (e.g. OpenMinTeD) focus on OA resources given the complex
legal issues (market failure?) connected with TDM.
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
9. Policies, best practices and OA
requirements
Examples:
● H2020 funded projects must be published in OA
● H2020 has also an OA data pilot which should become non optional
● National funding bodies and assessing bodies only consider OA publications for grant
applications or for tenure, scientific assessment, promotions, etc.
● Scientific foundations require OA publishing.
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
10. Open Access
Often this contrast with traditional academic
publishing where publishers commonly require a
copyright transfer/exclusive licence from the
authors in order to build a business model based
on paid distribution of hard copies or access to
online versions
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
11. Open Access
Some countries (e.g. DE, NL) create a
termination of transfer of rights in order to
republish in OA (although with limitations)
Other countries pass laws that are hard to assess
due to the fact that it is hard to understand the
intended legal effect (don’t address IP) and the
recipients of the legal obligation (e.g. IT, ES).
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
12. Open Access
But there is more, e.g.
● Open Methodology (reproduceability of scientific results and
preregistration)
● Open Peer-review (biases in the composition of reviewing
committees and influence of “schools”)
● Open Citations (lock-in of scientific databases and lack of
transparency)
● Open Data (SGDR and non protected DB and protection of non
original data)
● FLOSS (software as results and as tools)
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
13. Is this still just about (open)
Access?
This is much more, not only access to science
but about science itself:
Open Science
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
14. From Open Access to Open
Science
Open Science includes all these features:
Open Access, open methodology, open peer review,
open citations, etc.
And has a number of goals:
● Efficiency
● Transparency
● Accountability
● Impact
● Diffusion
● Access
● Innovation
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
15. Open Science
Is it/should it be more than an umbrella concept?
Propositive concept that not only collects the
concepts aforementioned but offers guidance and
value-based normative concept about how rules
and norms within science should be regulated
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
16. Open Science and IP
In the field of IP (copyright) we should consider the following:
● 1 Subject matter (copyright at all?)
● 2 Authorship and Ownership (who should own scientific outputs and results)
● 3 Rights (should right of reproduction be as broad as it is now?
Communications to the public? Modification?)
● 4 Exceptions and limitations (new paradigm?)
● 5 Relationship between copyright, contracts and scientific norms
● 6 Reconceputalisation of the relationship between authors’ rights and users’
rights
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
17. Example: OpenMinTeD
● The global research community generates over 1.5 million new
scholarly articles per annum.
The STM report (2009)
●
… some 90% of papers … are never cited.
… 50% of papers are never read by anyone other than their authors,
referees and journal editors
Lokman I. Meho, The rise and rise of citation analysis, 2007
● … one paper published every 30 seconds
Spangler et al, Automated Hypothesis Generation based on Mining
Scientific Literature, 2014
From: OpenMinTeD 2016
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
18. Example: OpenMinTeD
Machine reading
process textual sources, organise and classify in various dimensions,
extract main (indexical) information items,
… and “understanding”
identify and extract entities and relations between entities, facilitate
the transformation of unstructured textual sources into structured
data
… and predicting
enable the multidimensional analysis of structured data to extract
meaningful insights and improve the ability to predict
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
22. Example: Open Science check
list for repositories
thomas.margoni@glasgow.ac.uk
1) Apply the right licence to your
repository
2) Don’t forget the metadata
3) Apply the right licence also to the
content of your repository (not the same
thing as point 1)!
4) In particular, CC BY 4.0 for works such
as papers, articles, monographs, creative
images,
etc)
5) Data and dataset should be under a
CC0 (or a Public Domain Dedication)
6) Require that uploaders choose a
licence when they upload their content
7) Suggest which licence should be
chosen in order to meet OS
requirements (see above)
8) Explain why what you recommend is
the best choice and why other choices are
not good but let uploaders choose
