Data for Science and Society: The Second National Conference on Scientific and Technical Data
| U.S. National Committee for CODATA
| National Research Council Many of the major scientific challenges we face today require the combined expertise from multiple disciplines. Complex issues such as the understanding of global climate change, the advance of biotechnology, and progress on various types of problems facing society can be addressed only by combining and using data that in the past have been available to researchers in one field only. In conjunction with several federal science agencies, the U.S. National Committee for CODATA organized the Second National Conference on Scientific and Technical Data: Data for Science and Society to address important multidisciplinary issues in managing and using scientific and technical (S&T) data and to improve the visibility of these issues nationally. The main focus was on promoting the availability and usefulness of S&T data to all users, both in research and in the broader society, using examples of ground-breaking and innovative applications and highly creative partnerships.

The Digital Dilemma: Intellectual Property in the Information Age This book presents the multiple facets of digitized intellectual property, defining terms, identifying key issues, and exploring alternatives. It follows the complex threads of law, business, incentives to creators, the American tradition of access to information, the international context, and the nature of human behavior. Technology is explored for its ability to transfer content and its potential to protect intellectual property rights. The book proposes research and policy recommendations as well as principles for policymaking. Also found in: Copyright ~ Licensing ~ E commerce ~ Internet ~ Software ~ Publications |

Proceedings of the Workshop on Promoting Access to Scientific and Technical Data for the Public Interest: In response to a request from several federal science agencies, the Committee for a Study on Promoting Access to Scientific and Technical Data for the Public Interest undertook a study to identify and evaluate the various existing and proposed policy approaches (including related legal, economic, and technical considerations) for protecting the proprietary rights of private-sector database rights holders while promoting and enhancing access to scientific and technical (S&T) data for public-interest uses.

Nat'l Academies Press: Electronic Scientific, Technical, and Medical Journal Publishing and Its Implications: Report of a Symposium The symposium took a broad look across the scientific, technical, and medical (STM) journal enterprise to provide a better understanding of the implications of electronic publishing of STM journals on the health of scientific, engineering, and medical research. The symposium brought together experts in STM publishing, both producers and users of these publications, to: 1) Identify the recent technical changes in publishing, and other factors, that influence the decisions of journal publishers to produce journals electronically; 2) Identify the needs of the scientific, engineering, and medical community as users of journals, whether electronic or printed; 3) Discuss the responses of not-for-profit and commercial STM publishers and of other stakeholders in the STM community to the opportunities and challenges posed by the shift to electronic publishing; and 4) Examine the spectrum of proposals that has been put forth to respond to the needs of users as the publishing industry shifts to electronic information production and dissemination.

NAP Report: Sharing Publication-Related Data and Materials: Responsibilities of Authorship in the Life Sciences (, 120 pp.) This study evaluates the responsibilities of authors of scientific papers in the life sciences to share data and materials referenced in their publications. The report also discusses whether more appropriate standards for sharing data should be developed, including what principles should underlie them, and what rationale there might be for allowing exceptions to them.

Health Data in the Information Age: Use, Disclosure, and Privacy Regional health care databases are being established around the country with the goal of providing timely and useful information to policymakers, physicians, and patients. But their emergence is raising important and sometimes controversial questions about the collection, quality, and appropriate use of health care data. Also found in: Publications |

A Question of Balance: Private Rights and the Public Interest in Scientific and Technical Databases New legal approaches, such as the European Union's 1996 Directive on the Legal Protection of Databases, and other legal initiatives now being considered in the United States at the federal and state level, are threatening to compromise public access to scientific and technical data available through computerized databases. Lawmakers are struggling to strike an appropriate balance between the rights of database rights holders, who are concerned about possible commercial misappropriation of their products, and public-interest users of the data such as researchers, educators, and libraries.

Bits of Power: Issues in Global Access to Scientific Data Since Galileo corresponded with Kepler, the community of scientists has become increasingly international. A DNA sequence is as significant to a researcher in Novosibirsk as it is to one in Pasadena. And with the advent of electronic communications technology, these experts can share information within minutes. What are the consequences when more bits of scientific data cross more national borders and do it more swiftly than ever before? Bits of Power assesses the state of international exchange of data in the natural sciences, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and challenges.
