Web 2.0 myths

• Anything on the Internet is in the public domain as it’s not owned by anyone

• It’s so easy to cut and paste. If people don’t want to share they won’t let their material do that

• As long as I use something for teaching it’s fair dealing

Neptune Canada• in order to accelerate utilization of the NEPTUNE data archive, and so hasten the pace of discovery,

NEPTUNE Canada is developing a data access policy aimed at engaging a larger community in the research effort and creating an unprecedented culture of collaboration. The data access policy will make information from instruments deployed on this publicly-funded network available to the entire global research community, and to the general public, in real or near-real time via the Internet, to the maximum extent possible. NEPTUNE Canada must also reconcile this goal with the interests and intellectual property rights of investigators who conceive experiments, secure funding and deploy instruments on the seafloor. In developing the data access policy, we must also take into account the cost and complexity of controlling on-line access to data. The following document explores issues that will become key elements of the NEPTUNE Canada data policy. For some issues, we present draft policy guidelines, for others, we offer alternative points of view that are still being debated. For the present, the document limits itself to scientific use of observational data. Data access for educational and for-profit purposes will be examined in a later paper.

• What do we mean by 'access to data'?• In the context of ocean observatories where data are available on-line, different degrees of access to data

and associated meta-data need to be considered. NEPTUNE Canada presently recognizes four levels of data access: – on-line viewing of data and data products– restricted downloading of data sets and data products– unrestricted downloading of data sets, and– exploitation of data in scientific publications, education and for-profit enterprises.

Things to think about

• Authority• Integrity• Credit towards tenure, merit• Attribution• New forms of research• Lack of time• Lack of incentive (to comment on someone else’s paper)• Review process• Free access to information

Best practices

• Support Open Access (use I.R.s, use author addenda – see SPARC)

• Consider using a Creative Commons license (Share/ remix/ spread… and attribute)

• Terms and conditions of use/reuse should be clearly stated (contract or license)

• Use public domain material• Don’t equate CreativeCommons material with copyright-

free• Recognize others works via links, quotes, citing…

Final thoughts

• Open Access data being published and reused (datasets) – e.g. http://www.nih.gov/news/health/dec2008/nhlbi-15.htm (NIH)

• More collaboration• Open access (everyone can access information)• Boundaries between data, journals are disappearing • Journals are evolving: Journal of Visualized Experiments• Articles are evolving: article of the future prototypes• Web 2.0 has huge potential but we need to ensure that it

enhances current methods of teaching, learning, merit…
