Presentation for Ecological Society of America 2013 Meeting in Minneapolis, MN on 6 August 2013. Results published in Ecosphere doi: 10.1890/ES12-00139.1

Statement on Openness of Economic Data and Code Economic research is based on building on, reusing and openly criticising the published body of economic knowledge. Furthermore, empirical economic r…

We support discovery research into life, health and wellbeing, and we’re taking on three worldwide health challenges: mental health, global heating and infectious diseases.

Rights and provenance statements for datasets. Extends Dublin Core.

Explains the weirdness that is sound-recording copyright.

I began paragliding a few years ago. It’s maybe the most weather-dependent sport in the world. We often fly in mountainous areas, very close to the ground. We need to know about local effects like thermal updrafts, clouds growth, mountain-breeze, foehn wind, and all sorts of other micro weather effects.

Good intro to varying perspectives.

Producing a widely used set of data, rather than a long list of self-written articles, he said, "should be the highest honor in our field."

Public Citizen brief on copyright in state laws.

Followup to the OSTP Memo, of sorts.

Chart system for "who's responsible for what?" clarification.

Even the best laws will not lead to a safer internet. We need a sharper picture of the information apocalypse that awaits us in a world where personal data is traded to avert the catastrophy.

Research on practices to share and reuse data will inform the design of infrastructure to support data collection, management, and discovery in the long tail of science and technology. These are research domains in which data tend to be local in character, minimally structured, and minimally documented. We report on a ten-year study of the Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS), a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center. We found that CENS researchers are willing to share their data, but few are asked to do so, and in only a few domain areas do their funders or journals require them to deposit data. Few repositories exist to accept data in CENS research areas.. Data sharing tends to occur only through interpersonal exchanges. CENS researchers obtain data from repositories, and occasionally from registries and individuals, to provide context, calibration, or other forms of background for their studies. Neither CENS researchers nor those who request access to CENS data appear to use external data for primary research questions or for replication of studies. CENS researchers are willing to share data if they receive credit and retain first rights to publish their results. Practices of releasing, sharing, and reusing of data in CENS reaffirm the gift culture of scholarship, in which goods are bartered between trusted colleagues rather than treated as commodities.
