A very interesting interview with Dr. Prodromos Tsiavo about the issues of licensing open data and the problem with restrictive licensing at Talis blog:
Opening up data in the scientific community is something that’s become increasingly important, and getting the licensing and rights in order is a matter of urgent attention. With more and more researchers needing more and more data, there is an increased need for there to be clear information on what can be done with which data.
I spoke with LSE Research Fellow Dr. Prodromos (Pro) Tsiavos, who is researching open licensing, data sharing and publishing data in the public sector and who is also a Legal Project Lead for Creative Commons England and Wales. Pro’s main focus has been with the Cultural commons, and we discussed culture-shifts in science, and how the expectation that data are shared and licensed changes the way research may be done in future.
