Hi all, Andreas Harth currently has an RDF version of Eurostat at:
http://ontologycentral.com/2009/01/eurostat/ He does not host the whole thing, but states: "Unfortunately we cannot provide access to the full dataset due to limited storage and bandwidth resources. If you are interested in the full dataset and able to sponsor our effort please contact us." I understand Talis would consider hosting the data if it was fully open. There is mention of some commercial restrictions at: http://ckan.net/package/read/eurostat On the new Eurostat site, there is a link to the general EC legal notice (http://ec.europa.eu/geninfo/legal_notices_en.htm) which states: "Reproduction is authorised, provided the source is acknowledged, save where otherwise stated. Where prior permission must be obtained for the reproduction or use of textual and multimedia information (sound, images, software, etc.), such permission shall cancel the above-mentioned general permission and shall clearly indicate any restrictions on use." There is also: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/about_eurostat/corporate/copyright_licence_policy Which re-iterates that material may be used for any purpose (commercial or noncommercial) as long as source is attributed - unless otherwise stated. Hence I understand that the bulk of Eurostat data is OKD compliant, effectively under an attribution license? -- Jonathan Gray Community Coordinator The Open Knowledge Foundation http://www.okfn.org _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
