Discussion

> The Research Data Alliance (RDA) builds the social and technical bridges that enable open sharing of data. > The RDA vision is researchers and innovators openly sharing data across technologies, disciplines, and countries to address the grand challenges of society.”

The one sure way to stop open sharing of data across technologies, disciplines, and countries is to attach closed, uncertain, or burdensome licensing to the data. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We have proven, globally recognized, well-used choices of open licenses. In this session, the panelists and the moderator will discuss the implications of using restrictive licensing, and introduce the options available to maximize the potential of the work of RDA and its constituency, allowing it to to build strong and lasting social and technical bridges unobstructed by legal hurdles.
