The document discusses the concept of a data commons, which refers to making data publicly available, reusable, and in the public domain. It notes that the public domain is the natural legal state of data, not a licensing option. An open data commons would add value by enabling reuse of data, protocols, and ideas for funders, the public, and scientists. However, building a data commons requires addressing issues of policy, funding, tools, and motivation.
