Licensing and the public domain

April 21, 2014 Jill Clark

A central theme in the GIS Guide to Public Domain Data is data licensing; the emergence of licensing frameworks for spatial data, the types of licenses that are available for data producers and users, and what is means to place data in the public domain. Despite much attention there is as yet no universally accepted definition of the term ‘public domain’. A number of organisations have posted their own interpretations, including:
US Copyright Office: The public domain is not a place. A work of authorship is in the ‘public domain’ if it is no longer under copyright protection or if it failed to meet the requirements for copyright protection. Works in the public domain may be used freely without the permission of the former copyright owner.
UK’s Intellectual Property Office: The body of works not or no longer protected by Intellectual Property rights which are available for the public to use without seeking permission or paying royalties.
Creative Commons: When a work is in the public domain, it is free for use by anyone for any purpose without restriction under copyright law. Public domain is the purest form of open/free, since no one owns or controls the material in any way.
Common to all these definitions are the freedom from royalty payments and the absence of intellectual property rights and copyright restrictions on the use and reuse of the data. During the recent State of the Map US conference in Washington DC, some of the lingering issues regarding data licensing for spatial data were raised again. In his presentation on OpenStreetMap (OSM) Alex Barth of Mapbox discussed some of the current licensing challenges facing the current and future use of OSM data.
OSM data is open data licensed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL), and the cartography in the map tiles and the documentation are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license (CC BY-SA). Common to both licensing frameworks is the share-alike clause that means any OSM data that is updated and improved, or third party data remixed with OSM data, must be shared under the same licensing terms.
For some organisations integrating OSM data with their own private data, or organisations who are mandated to make their data available in the public domain (for example the US Geological Survey), wider use of this data resource is not an option and the benefits of crowd-sourced, free and open datasets like OSM will never be fully realised. For many observers, the only sensible long-term option is dropping the share-alike clause from the OSM licensing arrangements. For others, designation as a public domain data set is the solution. It remains to be seen which licensing path the OpenStreetMap community will choose.

Public sector information reuse across Europe: Patterns in policy-making from an organizational perspective

Journal of E-Governance, Volume 36, Number 4 (2013), Pages 198-211 

Authors: Henk Koerten, Marcel Veenswijk

Abstract

The success of Google Maps suggests that free access to public sector information (PSI) contributes to a prosperous economy. Although considerable attention has been paid to the legal and economic aspects of policies on public sector information (PSI), also known as open data (OD), the organizational consequences regarding the nature and shape of the public sector are rarely anticipated. We develop a framework to analyse organizational settings by comparing policies and outcomes of PSI reuse in EU member states. In many discussions on PSI reuse, government is treated as a unitary phenomenon with a single voice. We found considerable differences among EU member states concerning the implementation of PSI policies and indications that they are connected with the nature of the public sector in a specific state. Therefore we suggest that policies on PSI reuse to stimulate economic prosperity should be developed which take the specific national setting into consideration. When national government develops policies aimed simply at disclosing PSI without paying attention to the development of PSI reuse arenas, it runs the risk of unleashing narratives of control within the public sector, preventing them from releasing the innovative potential that PSI reuse intrinsically possesses.

Keywords: Public sector information reuse, Europe, public administration, organizational change

CODATHON – Open Data for Development Challenge Konferencia a kanadai külügyi, kereskedelmi és fejlesztési tárcák együttműködésében

CODATHON – Open Data for Development Challenge 

January 27-28, 2014

Montreal, Canada

Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD) will be hosting this 2-day event bringing together Canadian and international technical experts and policy makers to generate new tools and ideas in open data and aid transparency, and contributing to innovative solutions to the world's pressing development challenges. The event will take the form of a "codathon", and focus on data, policy, and technical questions related to aid transparency.

Technical challenges will involve building on open aid data, development-related datasets (e.g. national indicators, trade flows) and other data to build applications that help deliver better development results. Proposed topics for the policy stream include the use of open data in decision-making, the impact of open data in developing countries and an in-depth look at geospatial data.

Canada is committed to open data, aid transparency and accountability, as demonstrated through its engagement in key initiatives such as the G8 Open Data Charter, the Open Government Partnership and the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). The Open Data for Development Challenge will build on DFATD’s commitment to aid transparency and its efforts to make data on Canada’s international development assistance open and accessible.

Additional information on the Open Data for Development Challenge including registration is available on the event's website: Developers for Development, http://www.open-dev-ouvert.ca/

The Open Data for Development Challenge will take place in the same venue as the IATI TAG event (which will be on January 29-30, 2014), http://www.aidtransparency.net/governance/tag/tag-meeting-2014

Megújult az ePSIplatform

Ma érkezett! A HUNAGI postájából.

“We are pleased to announce the launch of the renewed ePSIplatform!

The team wanted to give more visibility to PSI Re-use and Open Data initiatives around Europe, whilst also enhancing the overall user experience. The renewed ePSIplatform, now has a restructured and redesigned web interface and as well as some additional features to improve navigation and searching.

What’s new?

Firstly, a THEMES section has been created, which structures content by its relevant field, such as Health, Education, Environment and Transport. This allows users who have a specific interest or area of expertise to easily find what they are looking for. This section also increases the visibility of the content proposed by our users.

The COMMUNITY section is a designated area to showcase our members and welcome external contributions from our growing audience. You can also have your own PSI Re-use and Open Data questions answered by using our ‘Ask an expert’ feature, which is also available on the homepage.

All of the News, Cases, Topic Reports and Resources on the platform can now be found in the KNOWLEDGEBASE section.

For those of you who have user accounts on the previous ePSIplatform, your profile and login credentials will remain the same.

We hope that you will continue to contribute to the newly renovated website and we look forward to welcoming your feedback!

Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn and Google ⁺ for regular updates. 

Best regards,

The ePSIplatform team”
