Andrew Gray wtoye:
It might be helpful (to prevent uninformed ramblings)
if we could have
a draft of the proposed confidentiality agreement, or at least a rough
bulletpoint of what it would cover. Unless that's confidential ;-)
I assume the data processing and handling would be done in Spain? It's
certainly much less of a legal headache to shift the data to Europe
rather than from Europe...
I'm with Andrew here; it depends on the terms and the scope of access within
their community.
I'm also interested in what their research goal is. Is it technical or
sociological study?
And - to try and not be uninformed - do we need to have a data disclosure
policy? The edit history is a very valuable research dataset, should we have
a "for academic research, under an appropriate non-disclosure agreement" as
part of the privacy policy?
