REPORTS

European Public Sector Information Platform Topic Report No. 13 - State of Play: PSI Reuse in Australia

State of Play: PSI Reuse in Australia by Dr Anne Fitzgerald was published by European Public Sector Information (EPSI) Platform as part of its series of Topic Reports.

Abstract: After having lagged in developing information policy frameworks during the decade up to the mid-2000s, recent developments have seen Australian governments (at federal, state and local levels) re-position themselves close to the leading edge of policy and practice on public sector information (PSI) access and reuse. Acceptance of the recommendations proposed by committees of inquiry into the issue, the reform of Freedom of Information (FOI) laws to support proactive release of PSI, the establishment of Information Commissioner Offices by federal and State governments, the widespread adoption of Creative Commons licensing of government copyright materials and use of web 2.0 technologies to distribute PSI, demonstrate that Australian governments increasingly grasp the social and economic importance of PSI. The Australian Government’s Declaration of Open Government (July 2010) reaffirms the federal government’s commitment to this course, pursuing “open government based on a culture of engagement, built on better access to and use of government held information, and sustained by the innovative use of technology.” While real progress has been made towards the implementation of broad-reaching information strategies, attention is now required to the further development of the policy framework, the principles governing information access and re-use and practical guidance tools. A notable feature of the Australian experience is the use of open content licences (primarily Creative Commons licences) on copyright-protected PSI, not only as an operational mechanism for managing government copyright but also as a driver of information policy. By releasing their materials under non-exclusive, open content licences, government agencies have adopted a policy position that, by default, PSI that is made available for access will also be able to be used and reused.

Open Access Policies, Practices and Licensing: A Review of the Literature in Australia and Selected Jurisdictions

Open Access Policies, Practices and Licensing: A Review of the Literature in Australia and Selected Jurisdictions by Dr Anne Fitzgerald is a condensed compilation of the more extensive Policies and Principles on Access to and Reuse of Public Sector Information: Literature Review (see below). This review covers all jurisdictions.

The 324-page publication sets out the findings of an extensive review of published materials dealing with policies, practices and legal issues relating to information access and reuse, with a particular focus on materials generated, held or funded by public sector bodies.

Policies and Principles on Access to and Reuse of Public Sector Information: Literature Review

The literature review, entitled Policies and Principles on Access to and Reuse of Public Sector Information is organised on a jurisdictional basis, commencing with Australia (chapter 1) and New Zealand (chapter 2). It also identifies materials produced by international organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the international Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) (chapter 3). Developments in key overseas jurisdictions are grouped on a regional basis: Europe, United Kingdom and Ireland (chapter 4); the United States of America (chapter 5), Canada (chapter 6) and Asia (chapter 7).

Chapter 1 and 2 - Australia and New Zealand (version 1.0, last updated 17 November 2008)
Chapter 3 – International (version 1.0, last updated 6 February 2009)
Chapter 4 - Europe, United Kingdom and Ireland
Chapter 5 - United States (version 1.0, last updated 11 February 2010)
Chapter 6 – Canada(version 1.0, last updated 23 December 2008)
Chapter 7 - Asia

The objective of the literature review is to identify materials published in Australia and elsewhere dealing with policies, principles and practices relating to access to and reuse of public sector information. The literature review covers materials relating to public sector information generally and publicly funded research data and publications, as well as materials dealing specifically with spatial information.

Report to the Government 2.0 Taskforce

Dr Anne Fitzgerald was commissioned by the Government 2.0 Taskforce to lead Project 4: Copyright Law and Intellectual Property. Project 4 investigated the application of copyright law to public sector information, and how the law might be managed to facilitate broader access to and use of PSI.

The 83-page report for Project 4: Copyright Law and Intellectual Property is available on the Government 2.0 Taskforce website and is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Australia licence.

Legal aspects of Web 2.0 activities

The Legal aspects of Web 2.0 activities: management of legal risk associated with use of YouTube, MySpace and Second Life report was prepared for Smart Service Queensland (“SSQ”) in 2007. The report addresses legal issues, areas of risk and other factors associated with activities conducted on three popular online platforms—YouTube, MySpace and Second Life. It explains the legal relationships among the various participants in these Platforms, which need to be understood in order to identify and address areas of concern for organisations that establish webspaces on the Platforms.

Creating a legal framework for copyright management of open access within the Australian academic and research sector: Open Access to Knowledge (OAK Law) Project Report No. 1, 2006

A Review and Analysis of Academic Publishing Agreements and Open Access Policies

A Review and Analysis of Academic Publishing Agreements and Open Access Policiesby Dr Anne Fitzgerald and Amanda Long for the Open Access to Knowledge Law Project (OAK Law Project) deals with Phases 1 and 2 of the implementation of the action points proposed in Chapter 5 of the OAK Law Project Report No. 1, Creating a Legal Framework for Copyright Management of Open Access Within the Australian Academic and Research Sector.

It contains a detailed analysis of the terms of publishing agreements that are currently used for the publication of journal articles submitted to publishers by Australian academic authors, and a survey of academic journal publishers to obtain information about their policies and practices in relation to open access to the academic and research works they publish.

This report provides a basis from which to carry out the actions proposed for Phase 5, that is, the drafting of model publishing agreements, a set of standard clauses, guidelines and toolkits designed for use by authors, publishers, copyright administrators and repository managers to facilitate open access to academic journal publications.
