DD3 R6. Discuss how to describe information about licences/licensing #37

Open PeterParslow opened 3 years ago

• licensing restrictions and terminology are constantly identified as a barrier to accessing the required data; and • licences should be machine- and human-readable, support their paper equivalents and be searchable.

Some of the licensing recommendations (i.e. those from the Geospatial Commission's licensing projects) can be summarised as “datasets should be organised so that open data is not mixed with data under other conditions in the same dataset.” – add this (somewhere) to the GEMINI guidance. Like all the projects discussed here, this is in the context of metadata (and licences) for published datasets, not for datasets undergoing processing within an organisation.
