When negotiating the import of data from resources that are not CC0, it would be very valuable to have a somewhat formal process to allow them to declare that some portions of their databases may be imported into wikidata and thus join its CC0 collection.
Does wikidata have anything like this in place? I think slight modifications to the protocol for Commons [1] ought to be sufficient. (Though I would like to avoid the backlog there that apparently is at 88 days now..).
As a specific example, we have informal (e.g. an email to us) permission to import data from the Disease Ontology [2] and UniProt [3] but would like to make those informal agreements 'official' and public. I suspect this will be a very common situation going forward.

John Cummings and I have been working on this. It is currently stuck with a review by WMF's legal team. So yeah we should totally have it and we will. Hopefully soon but don't hold your breath just yet. Will keep you posted.

For the EPA CompTox Dashboard I asked Antony Williams to release the mapping data as CCZero spefically, which he did on Figshare [0].

Thanks Egon, thats a reasonable approach to keep the ball rolling. How do you plan to handle updates ?

Bug the upstream author when they make a release... like in the other part of the thread, it's upstream should make it clearly available under CCZero from their site... but we need to show better what people get in return for that.

Just make them add such a note to http://www.uniprot.org/help/license or equivalent? E.g. http://www.beic.it/it/articoli/copyright releases some parts in CC-0.

Yes. e.g. according to that copyright statement from uniprot our actions are currently in violation. We need to make it clear that an agreement has been reached and have that hosted somewhere the world can see.

That would be the ideal spot - if it said what portion of the data was CC0 or is specifically declared as such for the purposes of allowing it into wikidata.
