accessible information they create, collect or hold.

• Extension of scope

libraries) and archives

certain exceptions

5
PSI Directive 2013 and archives
Implications
• Scope and exemptions
 Museums, libraries and archives in the public sector
 Out of scope – third party rights, personal information
• Charging
 Costs of collection, production, reproduction, dissemination,
preservation and rights clearance, together with a reasonable return
on investment
• Exclusive arrangements
 Some flexibility, especially for partnerships on a digitisation project
___________________________

A framework to bring museums, libraries and archives (including university libraries)
within scope to release as much cultural material for re-use as possible without
imposing unnecessary burdens.

Notas do Editor

  1. Open Government PartnershipAs current G8 president and lead co-chair of the international Open Government Partnership, the UK is promoting transparency and open data on the global stage as a means to fight corruption and drive prosperity.Transparency is also at the heart of the UK government’s reforming agenda.OGP Summit is being held in London at the end of October 2013 (31 October – 1 November 2013) – Open data is a significant element in work of the OGP 2013 – UK Presidency of G8G8 Summit – 17-18 June 2013 – Leaders from Canada, France, Germany Italy, Russia, USA and the UK met at Lough Erne in Northern Ireland. PM David Cameron is determined to achieve change on three issues: advancing trade; ensuring tax compliance; and promoting greater transparency. G8 leaders signed the Open Data Charter at the summit, putting open data firmly at the forefront of international efforts to drive economic growth and to improve accountability through transparency.
  2. The Open Data Charter sets out 5 strategic principles that all G8 members will act on.These include an expectation that all government data will be published open by default, alongside principles to increase the quality, quantity and re-use of the data that is released. G8 members have also identified 14 high-value areas from which they will release data – from education to transport, and from health to crime and justice. These will help unlock the economic potential of open data, support innovation and provide greater accountability. Directive 2013/37/EU amending Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information – adopted on 26 June 2013 (after a year and a half of negotiations to achieve a workable solution in all Member States). Member States need to have national legislation in place by July 2015.
  3. The 2013 Directive updates European legislation. It aims to enable more economic and social opportunities by opening up public sector information for re-use.
  4. Implications for museums, archives and librariesDocuments held by museums, libraries (including university libraries) and archives in the public sector are within scope. Information which remains excluded from scope: information subject to third party intellectual property rights, information which would not be accessible under access regimes (such as information relating to national security) and personal data. The Directive incorporates a framework for museums, libraries and archives (including university libraries) to release as much cultural material for re-use as possible without imposing unnecessary burdens. Non-mandatory - Where museums, libraries and archives make information available for re-use, it should be reusable for commercial and non-commercial purposes and subject to Directive. Charging – museums, libraries and archives are not subject to the default rule of charging at marginal cost – they are able to charge to cover the costs of collection, production, reproduction, dissemination, preservation and rights clearance of the information together with a reasonable return on investment. Exclusive arrangements - some flexibility is permitted, on a time limited basis, for exclusive arrangements when allowing re-use, especially where the museum, archive or library is working with a partner on a digitisation project.
  5. The UK National Archives online catalogue, Discovery, has an API (application programming interface) which provides a vast resource for developers, academics and enthusiasts to re-use our data in new ways. An example of re-use is in the visualisation in the centre of the slide here, which shows the volumes of naturalisation into Great Britain from each country by year. The spike in red on the graph shows the impact an event like the Chinese cultural revolution has on the increase in Chinese naturalisations. (This data comes from our Home Office records (series HO 334) – certificates of naturalisation, declarations of British nationality and declarations of alienage.)One developer used data relating to company records (including companies' names and years of incorporation) from 1860-1930 to look for trends and unusual events and behaviours.
