As many are aware, Open-Source Ecology Germany (OSE) and members of the IOP Alliance have been continuing development on a crawler that enables this discovery with a shared ontology: GitHub - iop-alliance/okh-search: A self-hostable, federated search for open source hardware
A major hurdle to the successful completion of this work is the timely sharing of the high-quality data that is needed. It had been proposed that the IOP initiate conversations with potential platform partners to become part of a metadata-driven ingestion framework by engaging in a data sharing agreement with the IOP.
Your feedback is being requested on the following:
-
Draft data sharing agreement concept document: specific feedback on the Description of Data and Data Access sections requested.
-
Your experiences with data sharing agreements, generally. Many of us have worked in this area and know the pitfalls/pain points all too well!
Feel free to add your responses/comments directly to this thread, so others can join the discussion. Please make any suggestions to the shared data agreement doc by Oct 12, so we’ll have time to take a look prior to the next OKH Initiative Group meeting on Oct 19.
