Notes de l'éditeur
- These are the original recommendations from the work sponsored by JISC and SCONUL upon which KB+ is based.There are two that I would like to pick up on in particular.The mediation and validation by a trusted 3rd party and the link to UK licensing initiatives.One of the things that I have been struck by as we have reviewed the information about JISC Collections agreements that is contained within some of the knowledge bases is how confused it seems to be.I recently saw how one of our journal archive agreements was represented in a knowledge base.The best thing was that atleast there was a record for the agreement, however that was where the similarity ended, one fifth of the titles weren’t referenced.In addition there were two other references for this particular journal archive and institutions were indicating that they weren’t signed up to the JISC Collections version of the agreement even though they were.So all of this incorrect information was driving ERMs, link resolvers and discovery tools, and no one had ever thought to approach us for the information – and it even had to be suggested that we might be well placed to provide them with information on the content of the licences we’ve negotiated.On the licensing side, it is worth noting how much difference there can be between a publishers global title list and the lists for nesli2 agreements.We now find ourselves in the position of publishers saying to us would you like us to do the lists in KBART format for the Nesli2 options, something that wasn’t previously available.
- I want to pursue the discussion around licensing because this is another area where KB+ can help.Via a colleague in JISC, Amber Thomas, I discovered this representation from Creative Commons of the 3 layers of licensing:Now for my purposes in JISC Collections we have the legal code in the JISC Model licence – the validated legalistic expression of the agreement between a publisher and the community.We have now through our work with in ONIX PL started to create a large number of machine readable expressions of these licence agreements, that we’ll be making available and can be shared with other systems.The area where we have had the most trouble though is that middle layer – the human readable expression of the licence. At the start of this year JISC Collections had it’s licences re-drafted by the campaign for plain english in an attempt to overcome the problems of understanding so many of our members contact us about.Unfortunately, both our legal counsel and a leading legal counsel agreed that no publisher would ever accept it because it didn’t include appropriate legal language – so one is thrown back on developing guidance documents.In a similar vein some of the core licensing issues facing institutions today – such as access for partner institutions – are rarely covered or dealt with in a licence, which simply states that an authorised institution has access to a resource without defining the exact parameters of that institution – something that becomes even more difficult when institutions themselves struggle to define the nature of their relations with partners.I see KB+ providing some assistance here in a variety of respects:1. Presentation of only the salient features of a licence in a human readable form – drawing on the creative commons approach.2. There is an opportunity to aggregate within a licensing module documentation and guidance on the meaning of licence terms.3. Pull together information on publisher policies regarding partnerships in one place in the same way that SHERPA/Romeo has done for archiving policies.
