1 like562 views
The document outlines the evolution of the Flemish Research and Knowledge Center for Nature's open data policies, particularly focusing on biodiversity data management and access. It details their strategic goals, milestones achieved since 2009, and the transition to a more standardized and open approach to sharing biodiversity data. Key developments include the signing of the Bouchout Declaration and the approval of the INBO open data policy, aimed at promoting free and unrestricted access to biodiversity information.
![INBO identified twelve strategic goals. These goals can be
considered general rules and best practices that should be
implemented and fully applied by 2015. The sixth institutional
goal:
"INBO manages and discloses
[biodiversity] data"

INBO, (r)evolution towards an open research institute - Dimitri Brosens
- 1. (R)evolution towards an Open research institute Dimitri Brosens
- 2. the Flemish research and knowledge center for nature and its sustainable management and use
- 3. We deal with
- 4. Human observations Going back 20 years and more
- 6. Machine observations Mainly via lifewatch.inbo.be
- 9. and
- 10. we supply knowledge to all those who prepare or make the policies or are interested in them.
- 11. INBO identified twelve strategic goals. These goals can be considered general rules and best practices that should be implemented and fully applied by 2015. The sixth institutional goal: "INBO manages and discloses [biodiversity] data" 2009
- 12. But how?
- 13. We became GBIF Data Publisher 2010
- 14. GBIF is the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and advocates free and open access to biodiversity data
- 16. GBIF licensing was catastrophic: 432 different licenses in use http://peterdesmet.com/posts/analyzing-gbif-data-licenses.html 2010
- 17. But who cared anyway? We started publishing data! 2011
- 19. Metadata are important, not the license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ by-nc/3.0/ 2011
- 22. Standardization is important, not the license Darwin Core Standard http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/ 2011
- 23. Format Darwin Core Archive: t.co/rTKXo99eZx CSV data + XML metadata
- 25. We started creating data portals in cooperation with the Belgian Biodiversity Platform 2012
- 27. Again, standardization is important, not the license Darwin Core Standard http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/ 2012
- 28. 2012 - 2013 We published a lot more datasets
- 29. We figured out that 2013
- 30. 17 datasets 5.3 million observations
- 31. As most of the GBIF data 2013
- 33. Open licence? CC0 + Norms for data use 2013 - 2014
- 34. We signed the: Bouchout Declaration 2013
- 35. The free and open use of digital resources about biodiversity and associated access services; Licenses or waivers that grant or allow all users a free, irrevocable, world-wide, right to copy, use, distribute, transmit and display the work publicly as well as to build on the work and to make derivative works, subject to proper attribution consistent with community practices, while recognizing that providers may develop commercial products with more restrictive licensing. Policy developments that will foster free and open access to biodiversity data; Tracking the use of identifiers in links and citations to ensure that sources and suppliers of data are assigned credit for their contributions; An agreed infrastructure, standards and protocols to improve access to and use of open data; Registers for content and services to allow discovery, access and use of open data; Persistent identifiers for data objects and physical objects such as specimens, images and taxonomic treatments with standard mechanisms to take users directly to content and data; Linking data using agreed vocabularies, both within and beyond biodiversity, that enable participation in the Linked Open Data Cloud; Dialogue to refine the concept, priorities and technical requirements of Open Biodiversity Knowledge Management; A sustainable Open Biodiversity Knowledge Management that is attentive to scientific, sociological, legal, and financial aspects.
- 36. We started working on the INBO Open data policy 2014
- 37. We almost won a price! 2014
- 39. Approval of the INBO Open data policy January 2015
- 40. All scientific data for which (EV) INBO is (co-)owner are covered by this policy and can be published as open data, excluding legal exceptions
- 41. 12 months after collecting, data are eligible for publication
- 42. Raw data will be published
- 43. Result data associated with a scientific article, report, or advice will by published with the publication
- 44. Data are unlocked as open data, as defined by the Open Definition, under the Creative Commons Zero waiver
- 45. Published datasets always make a reference to the INBO norms for data use
- 46. Opened data are always well documented with metadata
- 47. For all upcoming research projects a data management plan (DMP) is mandatory
- 48. Researchers follow the open data policy
- 49. The INBO Information & Data Center supports researchers in the application of the open data policy
- 50. INBO norms for data use https://github.com/LifeWatchINBO/norms-for-data-use
- 51. Give credit where credit is due
- 52. Be responsible
- 53. Respect the data waiver
- 54. Get in touch!
