From page 2...
... NCAR's work is heavily dependent on very diverse data sets, involving both having access to those data sets as well as generating complex and large data sets, which are ultimately added to the body of knowledge and disseminated to the research community. The purpose of this NRC workshop is to develop a better understanding of existing and proposed technical, legal, and policy options for protecting proprietary rights, as well as promoting access to scientific and technical data, particularly for public interest uses, including research, education, availability in libraries, and so forth.
