Abstract

Reading licenses can be a challenge with the dry complicated language, but licensing business data is an even bigger challenge. Data providers tend to be less familiar with the academic arena than other business vendors, and they can be much more protective of their content. This article covers the basics of reviewing business data licenses including areas of potential trouble and examples of some language found in licenses. It covers topics like accessing the data, who the users are, vendor requirements to be in compliance, and the difference in how faculty may expect to access the data and how that may conflict with the vendor’s expectations. It also provides basic tips on how to modify and negotiate the license.

摘要

使用复杂的复杂语言来阅读许可证可能是一个挑战，但是对业务数据进行许可则是一个更大的挑战。数据提供者对学术领域的了解往往不如其他商业供应商，而且他们可以更加保护自己的内容。本文介绍了复查业务数据许可证的基础，包括可能出现问题的区域以及在许可证中找到的某些语言的示例。它涵盖了诸如访问数据，用户是谁，要符合供应商要求等主题，以及教师期望访问数据的方式以及与供应商期望之间的冲突等方面的主题。它还提供了有关如何修改和协商许可证的基本技巧。
