Re: Data reuse split into 3 - review

 

If we inspect the list of use cases collected to build our BPs, in
practical terms no one addresses the reuse of datasets. In general, when
reuse appeared in an use case, it is as a goal of the use case and not
an instance of reuse. 

To have the real dimension of the issues related to what it is the
problem of reuse we need to start all the process, beginning to collect
an expressive set of use cases that effectively reuse data and raise
issues related to that.

> This is a good thought exercise, to think through our BPs and ask ourselves if any of them implies something that would need to be done differently for a reuse than for an original publication. My feeling is that the three BPs we have in the reuse section are the only ones that call for doing something differently.

These two BPs talk about how the Publisher of the original dataset should provide ways to gather and to aggregate this information to the dataset. In that sense, we already talk about DUV (that covers both the feedback and citation).

It could cover a lot of things as, for example, Government Policies, Organization Policies, etc. And one of the things to be taken into account is the license of datasets that are being combined to generate the dataset to be published. If the editors and the members of the group feel that this is important to say, I think this should be said in the BP "Provide data license information". Not in a new one.

How the "next" dataset will respect the versioning of the original datasets being used? The new Publishers will generate a new version each time the original ones generate new versions? Thinking about vocabularies: how the Publisher of the 'next" dataset will treat the use of different datasets that have different vocabularies to express similar (or identical) things? She will use a single one vocabulary? And so on. We probably will have issues for all BPs.
