[Nhcoll-l] Publishing Vertebrate Paleontology data through IPT and Federal land requirements

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi Andy,

In Europe an EC-Directive is governing - respectively limiting access to 
data, namely Directive EC/2003/98/EC of the European Parliament and of 
the Council:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2003:345:0090:0096:EN:PDF


GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 1
Subject matter and scope

[...]
2. This Directive shall not apply to:

[...]
(e) documents held by educational and research establishments,
such as schools, universities, archives, libraries and research
facilities including, where relevant, organisations established
for the transfer of research results;
(f) documents held by cultural establishments, such as
museums, libraries, archives, orchestras, operas, ballets and
theatres.


As far as I know this was included to reflect ICOM-Standards, but - 
honestly - I am not familiar with the details of the ICOM Code of Ethics 
for Museums, where this is probably lodged. It might be worth looking 
this up though ?

All the best
Dirk
