This question is on DSI, and how is the use of this data defined/restricted by the Nagoya protocol:
Clarifications from Katrina Exter: ABS-related permits are for
(1) collecting the physical samples by a named someone(s)
(2) the purpose for the collecting. Any digital data derived from the samples (in this case, DwC-A files on OBIS) should include, in their metadata, the ABS permits that were obtained (permit numbers and other info).
But, this information is not necessary for anyone who then comes along and re-uses that digital data. Only if they re-use the physical data do they need to get a new permit. HOWEVER, the scope is changing and digital data may be fall under NP. That, I guess, would mean that definitely the original ABS permit information has to be in the metadata, so someone who wants to reuse the digital data can find out if they need to apply for new ABS permits. Now, whose responsibility it is to ensure that people do not use the data without the correct ABS, I am not sure about it. I have heard both that it is the responsibility of the data provide (e.g. OBIS) and that it is NOT their responsibility. But for sure, providing all necessary information will be OBIS's responsibility as they are the data publisher (no?)

We need to find out how this will exactly work.
