      Open Data: The Panton Discussions

If you are interested in the Open Data
(OD<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_science_data>)
movement but unclear about the issues, or what scientists can do to support
the movement, what better way of finding out than by talking to leading OD
advocates Peter Murray-Rust <http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/staff/pm.html> of
the University
of Cambridge <http://www.cam.ac.uk/> and Jordan
Hatcher<http://www.opencontentlawyer.com/about-2/>of Open
Data Commons <http://www.opendatacommons.org/>.

That was what I did last Tuesday as part of a new initiative called the Panton
Discussions <http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/blogs/murrayrust/?p=2568>. The first
in a planned series, the event lasted around two hours and took place in the
Panton Arms<http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/19/19326/Panton_Arms/Cambridge>in
Cambridge.

Below is a sample of the kind of questions discussed:

* What is Open Data and why is the OD movement important? What is the
problem it aims to fix?

* Amongst the OD tools available there is the *Public Domain Dedication and
Licence (PDDL <http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/pddl/>)*, a process
of *Public Domain Dedication and Certification*
(PDDC<http://creativecommons.org/choose/publicdomain-2>),
and *Creative Commons Zero*
(CC0<http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>).
What are these tools, how do they work, and how do they differ?

* Likewise, there is the *Science Commons Protocol for Implementing Open
Access Data<http://sciencecommons.org/projects/publishing/open-access-data-protocol/>
* and the *Open Knowledge/Data Definition<http://www.opendefinition.org/okd/>
*. How do these differ? Why do we need two similar initiatives?

* More recently we have also seen the introduction of *The Panton
Principles<http://pantonprinciples.org/>
*? What do this initiative provide that was not available before?

* Where does Open Data fit with Open Access
(OA<http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm>)?


* Where does Open Science fit in?

* What about Open Notebook Science
(ONS<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Notebook_Science>)?
Where does OD fit with ONS?

* How should scientists go about making their data open? What pitfalls do
they need to avoid?

*Help sought*

Peter hopes to crowdsource the creation of a transcript of the
discussion. Jamaica
Jones <http://www.ucar.edu/library/about/people/jjones.php> and Graham
Steel<http://network.nature.com/profile/steelgraham>have both kindly
offered to help, but more volunteers would make the task
easier, and quicker. Peter can be contacted by email here <pm286 at cam.ac.uk>
