[Rdap] Requesting permission to make cultural heritage data OA

[Daureen Nesdill]

Hi Stacy,
 Has the archaeologist talked to the government recently about the terms of the contract?  Maybe their thinking has changed.
We have an archeologist here at the U of Utah who put 10 years of research into a repository and developed a website to provide other researchers access. He wants all archeologists to follow his lead so the online data can eventually be used to compare communities, dig sites, etc.

All:

I’m in talks with an archaeologist who is interested in making her data OA but is beholden to the restrictions of a national gov’t that gave her permission to conduct research in their country. Has anyone else had experience with researchers requesting permission to “open up” their cultural heritage data after the fact, where they are bound by requirements of a national government?

I couldn’t find information on the DH Curation guide and, as a Science Data Management Librarian, am at a loss for where else to look. Any guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.


Best,
