Creative Commons / Openscapes Fed Data Webinar - Jun 3

[jules32]

Original notes from Monica:

Creative Commons recently released “Recommended Best Practices for Better Sharing of Climate Data.” My colleagues Taylor and Wanying developed these recommendations with agencies including NASA, ECMWF, and WMO. We think the Openscapes community would be a great audience to share these recommendations with given their backgrounds and interest in ecology and data science.

Agenda Overview (Mar 4, 2024):

1. Opening Remarks Introduction by Openscapes why sharing climate data is important Introduction to Creative Commons and our collaborative climate data work. Recognition of the potential for open licensing in addressing global challenges.

2. Current Climate Data Sharing Practices Interactive discussion on participants’ relationship to climate data, and experiences re: current climate data sharing practices, licenses used, and challenges faced.

3. CC Recommendations Introduction to legal and licensing options: CC0 for public domain dedication (with attribution added) and CC BY copyright license. Poll and discussion to engage participants in the legal terms discussion. Metadata Values: Explanation of Title, Author, Source Link, and License (TASL) as essential components of attribution, key for metadata and sharing.

4. Q&A CC team available for further training, questions, feedback, or suggestions from the participants. Encourage participants to apply recommendations in their climate research and share the report.

This relates to larger and longer term datasets compared to the Open Climate Campaign

• e.g. from World Meteorological Association

What's the Openscapes connection? Creative Commons wants to connect with researchers.

inclusion tip: vision impaired presenter - in addition to adding alt text for images, share link to your slides ahead of time; allows screen reader to follow along - you won't be reading everything on your slide, so the screen reader can.
