Brasília, 2015-08-19

2. Stories about information
• Eva
• Olívia
• Marína
• Skarlet
• Petra

3. Eva
• 1st FOIA: 1766 (rougly: Salvador -> Rio)

4. FOIA
• Constitution: basic freedom (life,...)
• Anyone (children, companies, Brazilians)
• Any info, any purpose (Eva: but paper!)
• Serious future use: pro-active + online?

5. Olívia
• Doctor made a mistake...
• Let‘s learn more online!
• Your doctor? (long tail of issues)

6. Marína
• Cancer researcher, SAS
• Grey access (author,...), #ICANHAZPDF
• How should she spend her time?

8. Skarlet
• Son‘s textbook?
• Not only hard (good luck finding!), but:
• Illegal (jail for copying what you paid for)

9. Petra
• „You in IT“, helps with DjangoGirls
• Access not enough
• 5R: retain (copies), reuse, revise (adapt,
improve), remix (combine), redistribute

11. Something to think about...
• Life & Death (epidemics)
• Fairness argument
• Petra‘s story: access not enough

12. Recommendations
• Envision the impact of: Open Data,
Open Access, OER in your country
• Public paid -> public access
• Access not enough -> reuse rights

13. Thank you!
