This talk will
present a summary of the interim report of the OECD Follow up Group on Issues
of Access to Publicly Funded Research Data. The Group’s efforts have origins
in the 3rd Global Research Village conference in Amsterdam,
December 2000. In particular, it will include issues of global sharing of
research data. The Group has conducted case studies of practices across different communities, and
looked at factors such as sociological, economic, technological and legal
issues that either enhance or inhibit data sharing. The presentation will
also address issues such as data ownership and rights of disposal, multiple
use of data, the use of ICT for widening the scale and scope of data-sharing,
effects of data-sharing on the research process, co-ordination in data
management. The ultimate goal of the Group is to articulate principles, based
on best practices that can be interpreted into the science policy arena. Some
initial principles will be discussed. Questions such as the following will be
addressed:
