The distinction between these three elements is crucial in forming understanding how the licensing of open data operates in real-life-cases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The origin of the term of data is in Latin and its singular form meant a fact given or granted, (thing) given, a fact given as the basis for calculation in mathematical problems, or numerical facts collected for future reference.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary data means: \u201c1. factual information (such as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation; 2. information in digital form that can be transmitted or processed; 3. information output by a sensing device or organ that includes both useful and irrelevant or redundant information and must be processed to be meaningful.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a> From this definition it becomes clear that data is something that is meant to be further processed in order to refine and develop it further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cambridge Dictionary defines a dataset as \u201ca collection of separate sets of information that is treated as a single unit by a computer\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a> and database as \u201ca large amount of information stored in a computer system in such a way that it can be easily looked at or changed\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a>. These definitions highlight the digital nature of data and its processing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the more recent and specific definition of data is identified in connection with the Montreal Data License, which defines data as the information being made available. The format and layout of such information is referred to as a database or dataset, whatever way it may be organised. Where applicable, the data may be separated into different segments into underlying data or metadata in the form of data tags and other structural information. As <a href=\"http:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/1903.12262\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Misha Benjamin et al., 2019<\/a> point out, such data may be collected and harnessed from different sources or made available from a single source.

In Europe, the regulatory basis for the reuse of public sector information stems from 2003. The <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dir\/2019\/1024\/oj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open Data Directive<\/a> on open data and the re-use of public sector information is based on the (repealed) Public Sector Information (PSI) Directive that addressed the increasing demands for re-use of public sector data.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When looking into the licensing of open data, the key aspect is to understand the differences between licensing of open source software and open hardware compared to licensing of open data. All of these have a clear difference in the basis of their IP rights. Data as such is not protected by copyright, additional categories of IP rights apply for instance to databases. In addition, technological advancements affect the ways data is used, and there is a clear trend towards building products and services upon data. All these aspects affect the way open data is or should be licensed.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A good starting point for the definition of open data, is the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) <a href=\"http:\/\/opendefinition.org\/\">Open Definition<\/a>. The OKFN Open Definition states that open means anyone can freely access, use, modify, and share for any purpose, subject, at most, to requirements that preserve provenance and openness).<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The goals of the OKNF Open Definition include promoting a robust common in which anyone may participate, compatibility and interoperability are maximised, and quality of data is ensured. The OKNF Open Definition defines openness with regard to two categories: data and content. When open data is useful on its, its true value is revealed when it becomes open knowledge. Even though the OKNF Open Definition covers both categories, it is important to distinguish the two, as their treatment under intellectual property law is different.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The OKFN Open Definition is aligned with the Open Source Initiative (OSI)\u2019s Open Source Software definition regarding software and also the Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA)\u2019s definition regarding hardware. The OKFN Open Definition states that for a work to be \u2018open\u2019 it must meet the following requirements relating to its distribution:<\/p>\n<table width=\"902\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"212\"><strong>Requirement<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"689\"><strong>Meaning<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"212\">Open license or status<\/td>\n<td width=\"689\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The work must be in the public domain or provided under an open license (as defined in Section 2).

Examples include cloud services (such as OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive) and streaming of video and audio content (such as Netflix, Spotify). This trend affects directly how data is processed and consumed in business as well, we have seen for instance services like Azure and AWS, which are widely used.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The trend of providing data as a service has a profound impact on how data is shared and licensed between entities. Data is no longer seen as a strange cousin of intellectual property, but instead, from the perspective of the end-user, as something that adds value to the end-user\u2019s activities. Data forms part of the service; it is not a single licensable asset. This trend can be seen in the latest context-specific open data licensing terms, in contrast with some more traditional forms of licensing stemming from licensing data embedded under specific legal forms of intellectual property rights.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The servitisation trend opens up new possibilities for building business upon data and highlights the need for novel business design and business models. It also emphasises the need for data sharing between entities and governance mechanisms for such data sharing, for instance through data ecosystems. The concept of open data ecosystems, focusing purely on open data, is currently an emerging concept. Provision of data as a service and emergence of data ecosystems demonstrate data as a resource with non-rival nature and focuses on how data can flow between entities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faf579a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"faf579a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cf711d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7cf711d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#_tltref4\" name=\"_tlt4\"><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5aca588 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5aca588\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Regulatory trends in open data<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1b8748 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e1b8748\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the forerunners in opening data come from actors in the field of public sector data, governmental data and open science. European regulation covering these fields has for some time paved the way towards offering <em>data as a service<\/em>. For example, the Open Data Directive (2019) emphasises dynamic data sharing and issues like data access and provision of application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs are required for access to high value data sets like geospatial data, environmental data and mobility data. Typically, these datasets contain data that is not covered by copyrights or database rights. This is another indication of the growing trend of servitisation of data as opposed to relying on mere licensing of the underlying intellectual property rights. Similar types of regulations can also be found in regulated sectors like banking, energy and the automotive industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From a regulatory perspective, data is currently in the spotlight. The so-called Big Five regulations (Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, Data Governance Act, Data Act and AI Act) are in different phases of adoption or implementation. The themes pushed forward with these acts include, among others, issues of fair competition in the digital markets, obligations for platforms and gatekeepers, obligations for service providers and data intermediaries, re-use of public sector data, data altruism, IoT data, data spaces and transparency and risk assessment of AI technology. These will profoundly affect the boundaries on how to conduct data-based business and give incentives for novel types of business in the European data economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Big Five regulations will also give a boost for open data by affecting the business environment in which data flows in the continuum of the data spectrum, from closed to open, and different forms of data sharing in between. At the same time, the systemic challenges embedded in the data sharing and licensing between entities, and on a more general level within the ecosystems and communities, surface. These challenges contain issues like interoperability, APIs, access control, metadata, value generation, regulatory aspects, contractual issues, licensing, ecosystem governance and data governance. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of these challenges, they can be tackled only by addressing them concurrently from different perspectives, eg, technological, business, legal, operational and political.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7762ff11 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"
