[Rdap] FW: Center for Research Libraries - Updated terms for licensing global data

[Daureen Nesdill]

We actually had an issue a few years back so I thought this community may want to know what CRL is working on with respect to acquiring datasets from commercial vendors.

Subject: Center for Research Libraries - Updated terms for licensing global data

The Center for Research Libraries has published an updated version of the "Model Licensing Terms and Specifications for Data Resources". The terms were developed through the pooling of expertise and community input from librarians involved in financial and geospatial data licensing. CRL provides these terms for use in negotiating agreements for large global datasets provided by commercial vendors.
In November 2016, CRL hosted the inaugural eDesiderata Forum on the topic of licensing large databases and datasets (the event description, related resources and documentation can be found here). Guided by the findings of the 2016 Forum, CRL developed a set of terms and specifications recommended for inclusion in data acquisition licenses to facilitate more successful, informative and mutually constructive agreements with vendors of global data resources.
Last Spring, CRL shared a proposed draft of these terms and invited members to provide feedback and pose questions, facilitating a virtual discussion regarding strategies for licensing and providing access to global data resources. CRL updated the terms based on the feedback received during the review period. Both the current and previous versions can be found on the following CRL page:
https://www.crl.edu/electronic-resources/tools-resources
We encourage community input on the terms and specification, comments can be submitted on the PDF (Google Drive document) using the in-line commenting function. Comments will inform future revisions of the document.
