Conversation with Simone Aliprandi: from Open Access to Open Science Data

Friday November 10, 2017, FBK-Povo hosted the seminar “From Open Access to Open Science Data” by Simone Aliprandi, holder of a PhD in information society and a lawyer engaged in consulting, training and research in the field of copyright and, more generally, ICT law. The seminar was introduced by Maurizio Napolitano, head of FBK’s Digital Commons LAB Research Unit.

The subject of the seminar was the rapid transition due to the availability of data for scientific publications: the debate on open access to scientific publications was launched in the early 2000s and has become mature.

Now, thanks to Horizon2020’s momentum, the focus is expanding, coming to encompassing as well research data to the end of testing the results and reproducibility of experiments and calculations.

What progress has been made? What are the legal (licensing) and technological (standards and repository) tools for profitable dissemination of research data?

In the VIDEOS, the expert answers to these questions and indicates the consequences both at operational level with regard to knowledge workers and the context of research in particular, or more generally in terms of democratization research activity itself with the opportunity to better and ever more widely engage citizens in the results produced and in the multiple applications that can be obtained from them.
