[Rdap] Requesting permission to make cultural heritage data OA

Hi Stacy,

Our copyright librarian is investigating our ability to make OA a research data collection from one of our faculty here that includes photographs and videos from 1990s Cuba. The jury is still out...I think that we may have to consult with university council. I am not aware of a robust discussion of these issues in the data management community. Have you talked with your resident copyright experts or put the question out to a copyright librarians list? This would indeed be a very careful conversation with the national government agency.

Sincerely,
Hailey

Subject: [Rdap] Requesting permission to make cultural heritage data OA

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,
Stacy Konkiel
