Ocean Data Management and EU Database Sui Generis Right
-
Enrique Wulff
Abstract
As advocates of the user perspective in research consortia in the oceanographic- related sector, ocean libraries and National Data Oceanographic Centers (NODCs) beat their place from other agencies to ascertain and manage a range of legitimate reasons to restrict access: by the licensing terms of databases, a person or institution having the right to use them can do it. Since the adoption of Directive 96/9/EC, the use of a non-original database by intended scientific purpose or for correcting errors has now its specific a commendable policy. This is arguably long-sighted given that the (fishing, marine, maritime, spatial, and water) database as a whole can be protected by database rights. In this research exercise, we built on the European Union legislation to enhance database rights between the public and private sectors by establishing a base of existing evidence, asking: what links have been researched on the intersection between oceanographic databases protection and sui generis rights? We investigated by collecting together the full EU legislation for this piece of research and by using bibliographic and desk research, in addition to examining databases. Several results include the work in the cloud where EU legal instruments respond to database protection, right holders in a contractual reconstruction that can take charge of ocean research data management, and, that sui generis rights can indicate a university or research organization, a funding agency, or the researcher himself as the beneficial owner. Based on this analysis, we propose solutions and measures to avoid violations of this technical protection through appropriate licensing guidelines.
