<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear DataCP,<br>
<br>
I am sorry I will not be able to attend the IVOA meeting in
Groningen. I would like to suggest a topic to which we have to
give thoughts in the FAIR context: licences. <br>
<br>
There is work on-going to define criteria for FAIRness, and one
which is being discussed is that a machine-readable licence is
attached to data. We have been very successful in establishing an
operational framework to share and interoperate data with the VO,
and we tend to rely on the code of conduct of scientific research
in astronomy, such as the AAS one which states:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite"><span style="left: 47.2441px; top:
825.315px; font-size: 16.6667px; font-family: sans-serif;

from a public database</span></blockquote>
<br>
Some data providers attach a licence to their data, but in the
cases I know it is a plain text one.<br>
<br>
If the fact that a machine-readable licence is attached to data
becomes a mandatory criterion for FAIRness, we are at risk, so I
suggest that we begin to discuss the point in DataCP.<br>
<br>
More generally, the RDA WG which is working on the definition of
criteria for FAIR data (FAIR Data Maturity Model WG) has submitted
their current list of 53 criteria for community input on whether
they should be Mandatory, Recommended and Optional. It would be
very useful that people from the astronomy community fill the form
at:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9yOryMB9IjOoo3GbWLW1u19jKdfF4RdWX1RT2bRXJVsuJzg/viewform">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9yOryMB9IjOoo3GbWLW1u19jKdfF4RdWX1RT2bRXJVsuJzg/viewform</a><br>
<br>
I strongly suggest that those of you who are interested in this
critical matter join the RDA (if you are not yet a member) and the
WG (just Join button in the column on the right, you have to be
logged in with you RDA id and password):<br>

<br>
There is lots of information available in the WG page. The 'file
repository' in the column on the right contains in partiuclar the
slides presented at the WG meetings, with links to Github
discussion paths.<br>
<br>
I wish you a fruitful meeting in Groningen<br>
