## Key terms | ||
|
||
**Copyright** – A type of intellectual property that protects original works of authorship as soon as an author fixes the work in a tangible form of expression. Many different types of works are covered by copyright law including data products and software. (As well as books, poems, paintings, photographs, illustrations, musical compositions, and many more.) | ||
|
||
Note: Raw data, which are considered facts, are not covered by copyright law. | ||
|
||
**Data** – Factual information (such as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation. | ||
|
||
**Data License** – Data licenses give any data creator a way to grant the public permission to use their products under copyright law. Similarly, data licenses give data users clear guidelines regarding how they can reuse the material. | ||
|
||
Note: Raw data are not covered by copyright law. | ||
|
||
**Data Products** – Data Products are reusable assets that process data and generate insights that help organizations make better decisions. Data products can include datasets, data streams, data feeds, APIs, code, data models, analytics models, and dashboards. | ||
|
||
**CC-BY and CC0 License** – CC-BY and CC0 are Creative Commons data licenses. CC-BY allows reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format so long as attribution is given to the creator. The license allows for commercial use. CC0 allows creators to give up their copyright and put their works into the worldwide public domain. CC0 allows reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, with no conditions. | ||
|
||
**Data Management Plan** – A data management plan (DMP) describes the what, where, when, and who for data that will be created during a research project. Common components of data management plans include a description of the type, volume, and format of the data; where and when the data will be made available, and who will make the data available. The plan can also describe data variables, sources, accuracy, and precision if that information is available. | ||
|
||
**Metadata** – Data that describes data. It can be global – describing the overall contents of a single file or collection of files – or local – describing an individual variable within the file. Typically, global metadata offers information about who created the file, information about the data set, what satellite/instrument/lab/etc. created the set, the DOI, and file format information, among other metadata fields. Local metadata about variables contains information such as the full/long name of the variable, any scaling factors or uncertainty information, and measurement units. | ||
|
||
**Machine-Readable Persistent Identifiers (PID)** – A unique string that identifies an object, such as a dataset. Though the online location of the object may change, the PID will not, and will also lead back to the data, ensuring that citations referencing the PID will always be valid. | ||
|
||
**Findable (data)** – Data that is readily discoverable to both humans and machines. It should include a unique persistent identifier and rich metadata describing the data and context and be registered in an index that is searchable. | ||
|
||
**Accessible (data)** – Data that can be accessed over standard communication protocols, with metadata that can be accessed even if the data itself is no longer available. | ||
|
||
**Interoperable** (data) – Data that uses controlled ontologies and vocabularies so that it can be used and/or combined with other relevant data sets in different applications. | ||
|
||
**Reusable (data)** – Data that has a clear license, detailed provenance, adequate description/definition and meets community/domain standards, and can be replicated or combined with other data. | ||
|
||
**Dataflow** – The data workflow that includes how data are used, made, and shared. Different actors will have different (or multiple) roles in this workflow. |
