Abstract
The research paper examines legal and ethical issues affecting open access to research data, and more specifically the diverse intellectual property rights relating to data in different legal jurisdictions. It looks at frameworks for enhancing open access to research data, such as the open data contract, Open Content Licenses and the Open Data Commons. The pros and cons of each of these frameworks are discussed as well as dimensions of privacy that relate to public access.
