1. Open Access to Biodiversity Scientific Data: A Comparative Study Mélanie Dulong de Rosnay and Andrés Guadamuz National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) Institute for Communication Sciences, France University of Sussex, School of Law, UK 17th ICABR Conference “Innovation and Policy for the Bioeconomy” Ravello (Italy): June 18 - 21, 2013

2. The future is open

3. EU Commission “The vision underlying the Commission’s strategy on open data and knowledge circulation is that information already paid for by the public purse should not be paid for again each time it is accessed or used, and that it should benefit European companies and citizens to the full. This means making publicly-funded scientific information available online, at no extra cost, to European researchers and citizens via sustainable e-infrastructures, also ensuring long-term access to avoid losing scientific information of unique value.”

4. White House OA Declaration “The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) hereby directs each Federal agency with over $100 million in annual conduct of research and development expenditures to develop a plan to support increased public access to the results of research funded by the Federal Government. This includes any results published in peer-reviewed scholarly publications that are based on research that directly arises from Federal funds […]

6. Biopiracy

7. Bioprospecting

8. Controversies about OA Biopiracy TK HGS Bioprospection INBIO Because if data from indigenous knowledge and developing countries is made available under open access conditions, pharmaceutical companies will be able to exploit them without compensation for the local communities.

9. What is the legal framework for protection of biodiversity?

10. Sample collection

11. Basic research

12. Databases

13. Metadata

14. Publications

15. Legal protection of biodiversity data CopyrightPatentsDatabase right (EU)Other/No protection - Notes - Pictures - Metadata - Publications - Reports - Data - Software - Compilation - Bioprospecting - Processes - Methods - Software - Data - Databases - Thesaurus - Ontologies - Brands - Materials - Specimens - Plant varieties - Genetic banks - Designs - Geolocation information

16. Contrasting legal regimes CDB Copyright Patents

17. Biodiversity data Environmental data Scientific data Geospatial data Cultural data Metadata

18. Various status for biodiversity data PSI Directive Inspire Directive Public access to environmental information Directive Subjected to the location of rare species Right of access does not convey a right of reuse

19. Biodiversity datasets Held by Natural history museums Research institutions Members of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

20. Open Data Open Access and Open Science movements Changing social norms in scientific communities journals publishing agreements funders or institutions

21. Recommandations OECD encouraging the deposit of the underlying dataset at the time of the publication of the article The EU Commission Recommendation of 17 July 2012 on access to and preservation of scientific information targets scientific publications and research data that receive public funds asks for clear open access policy no later than 6 months after publication, or 12 months for the social sciences

22. No OA mandate Horizon 2020 neither for publications nor for underlying datasets beyond projects funded by EU research programmes PSI Directive Neither include data from research and science nor data produced with public funding.

23. Licensing a dataset... Raw data Data sheet Model, taxonomy, ontology, structure Database not all of them are protected copyright for compilation EU Directive on sui generis rights Access-control mecanisms PSI, Inspire, Reach, physical PD Licence or terms of use

24. Terms of use Governance choices Between all rights reserved And Open Access options

25. Databases terms of use Reserves rights for education and research Excluding companies Freely used, but on request Contradictory terms of Hidden restrictions Commercial use or private use Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva useuse New Mexico Biodiversity Collections Consortium ToUToU

26. The different forms of Open Access

27. Technical barriers

28. Commons

29. Licensing frameworks allowing reusability Do not assert IPR statement: GBIF data sharing agreement Public domain to allow datamining The Attribution requirement Opening Up the Natural History Heritage for Europeana CC0

30. GBIF Data Publishing Framework a technical policy support Researchers evaluation = publication citation Attribution = database tracking + data citation

31. PhytoKeys Journal infrastructure Connect article and underlying data Methods to implement policies for data publication linking data to metadata indexation to facilitate data mining

32. Future work Clarify which legal provisions apply Develop automated mechanisms for data citation as an incentive to share data Replace terms of use that makes it impossible to perform data mining and reuse the data
