Who?s paying the data bill?

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

The article below is interesting for a number of reasons:

a) the US has a national science foundation which aims to resolve a
variety of issues, research data being one, Canada does not, we have
SSHRC and NSERC which do not come near the money and policy making of
the NSF
b) there is a cyberinfrastructure project which was built with NSF
resources and which supports science and data preservation
c) data management is part of the science deal if you want NSF money,
whereas in Canada only the now finished International Polar Year
Project did that, which means we do not get access to science data.

Kate Lance (http://independent.academia.edu/KateLance/RecentUpdates)
and Paul Uhlir (http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/brdi/PGA_045727)
are veterans on access to public data, PSI as they call them and have
been on the forefront of these debates for decades and are worth us
paying attention to when we do our work.

Thanks for forwarding this, Kate. The NAS Board on Research Data and
Information (BRDI) will be doing a consensus study starting next year
on data sustainability strategies. Fran Berman is a co-chair of BRDI,
along with Clifford Lynch of CNI. Information about the Board's
current and past activities is available at
www.nas.edu/brdi<http://www.nas.edu/brdi>.

Also of interest to this group is that BRDI will be holding a 2-day
workshop on the intellectual property law implications for scientific
data sharing, probably next winter. Finally, Harlan Onsrud and I are
on a GEO legal interoperability subgroup, looking at licensing
practices. Attached is a summary white paper that was adopted by the
GEO Plenary last November. We are writing a longer background paper
this year that justifies the summary white paper, so any comments or
suggestions on the summary by the members of this listserv are
welcome!

Cheers,
Paul
