[Seavox] Data Access Policy Vocabulary

[Roy Lowry]

Dear All,

Attached is a vocabulary designed to fulfil the function of the ISO19115 MD_RestrictionCode vocabulary for our more academic world. The vocabulary has been built from two sources, the SEA-SEARCH CDI (a simple subset of MD_RestrictionCode) and the EDIOS metadatabase, which has a much bigger vocabulary that I've tried to distil down (see the EDIOS sheet in the XLS file for the gory details, including the kind of  terms you get in vocabularies built without governance e.g. 'see website').

What I'm trying to achieve through this vocabulary is to provide the discoverer of a dataset with a reasonably clear picture of the hoops that need to be negotiated to get hold of the dataset.  Guess its really a classification of data access policies.  Let me have any comments.

Cheers, Roy.
