Example of a DUA for a dataset

I've put together a few broad categories that represent common limitations/constraints/requirements from DUAs that would possibly want to be recorded as part of a dataset. Most categories would require further reading of the DUA for specifics, but it could at least be recorded whether or not a type of requirement (e.g. publication requirement) exists.

Data Access: usually authorized for institute, project, or individual Examples:
- Institute level access: anyone from the institute listed in the DUA can have access
- Project level access: only those working directly on the project specified in the DUA are allowed to have access
- Individual level access: only authorized individuals can have access
Research Use Limitations: often use is limited to a specific project or scope Examples:
- Research must be within scope of the defined project/research use statement
- Research use statement, but broad use/exploration encouraged
- Broad use is encouraged
Reporting Requirements: Examples:
- Submit an annual report of research progress
Publication Requirements: specific actions required with any public disclosure of results Examples:
- Cite specific paper
- List specific people as authors
- Include appropriate acknowledgements
- Notification of publication
- Approval of publication
- Make any publications that arise from use of data open-access
- Return results data to upstream
Infrastructure Requirements: requirements imposed on the infrastructure where data is stored/used Examples:
- Security best practices
- Access controls, logging
- Report security incidents
- Data must remain on institution's server
- Data must be encrypted
- No storage on portable media
- Delete data when research is completed or DUA is expired
- Participant withdrawals
Term: date the DUA expires
