Does Copyright subsist in the data?Recent developments in Australia have led to the situation where it is unclear which data is subject to copyright. In this situation, Australian researchers have to take a pragmatic approach and it would seem desirable to assume copyright as subsisting in all data created in the course of research, and ensure that it is licensed accordingly. No harm can come from this approach.http://www.ausgoal.gov.au/research-data-faqs#Q2

University’s Intellectual Property PolicyThe University recognises that there are many ways to engage with the community in the exploitation of IP, depending on the nature of the IP and its potential application. In some cases this may be by means of providing open access to the work, which is a key feature of teaching, research and publications.
The University is entitled to, and asserts ownership of, all IP created by staff members in the course of their employment with the University, unless there is a specific written agreement or exception to the contrary.

• Evaluation by Project Officer with reference to external parties including ANDS and AusGoal.
• Discussion paper and recommendation provided to research group.
It is recommended that data and accompanying metadata made publicly
available via OAGR is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence

Reasons for choosing CC-BY
• The most accommodating of the Creative Commons licences = Maximum distribution and reuse of the licensed material.
• CC0: Uncertainty as to whether creators can under Australian law voluntarily waive their copyright.
• Non-exclusive and do not prevent owners of data licensed under a CC licence also releasing it separately under a different licensing or sharing/reuse arrangement (e.g. Sequence Read Archive).
