Reuse data
The FAIR criteria are of particular importance for the reuse of research data. Reuse is facilitated in particular by a sufficiently clear description based on metadata. In addition, persistent identifiers (e.g. DOI), the specification of the tools required for use as well as the license and any restrictions on the reuse of data are essential.
Licenses
The licenses for the re-use of data via platforms or repositories should be as open as possible and as closed as necessary. Creative Commons offers six ready-made license types that provide legal certainty for users. The FWF expects a CC-BY, i.e. a Creative Commons license that requires attribution as a criterion. This is not even required for CC-O. The tool https://choosealicense.com provides further assistance with the use of ready-made licenses. A brief overview can be found below.
| CC-BY (Attribution) | This license permits third parties to copy, distribute and make available a work or the content, as well as to make and distribute modifications and adaptations of the work or content, even commercially, as long as the author of the original is named. This license permits maximum distribution and use of the licensed material. |
| CC-SA (Distribution under the same conditions) | Any work based directly on the licensed work may only be published under the same (or a compatible) license. This is to prevent the work (with or without changes) from being placed under a different license. |
| CC-NC (Non-commercial) | This license is intended to prevent commercial use. NC licenses are often offered as part of a dual license system if the alternative license for commercial purposes requires a payment to the licensor. |
| CC-ND (No processing) |
No modified, supplemented or directly based versions of the licensed work may be published. |
Data transfer
For the transfer of data to others, unless the data is made available via a repository, a legal agreement on the use of the data must be concluded in addition to a technically secure transfer (e.g. ACOnet ). This can be regulated by various types of contract (e.g. consortium agreement, cooperation agreement, contract for a clinical study, contract for contract research).
