1. Governance and transparency

secretariat
Participants' contributions should:
•
•
Bring in the expertise and experience of their company or organisation; while
Representing association positions where that is relevant
•
•
Chatham house rules
Participants may speak in EN or FR (no interpretation)
•
A website has been launched at: http://ec.europa.eu/licences-for-
europe-dialogue/http://ec.europa.eu/l4e
•
•
•
The Commission will post there documents that it publishes in relation to
Licences for Europe
Stakeholders will be able to post comments on the topics covered by Licences for
Europe, for consideration by the WG
The WG should agree which of its working documents may also be disclosed
2. Schedule
• The WG should:
• Finalise work by November; and
• Make a mid-term report in June
• In function of the objectives agreed by the WG,
the Commission does not exclude that:
• Subgroups will be established to work on specific
issues or themes; and/or
• Open meetings with a wider group of
representative businesses and organisations could
or should be held on specific themes
3. Objectives of this meeting
•
Participants should state briefly their proposals on the issues
identified, from a commercial and technological point of view
• The objective of the WG is to explore solutions within the
current legal framework. Policy debate on the currrent legal
framework is, therefore, out of scope of discussion.
•
On this basis, the Commission will draw conclusions summarising
the orientations of the WG on:
• The range of specific issues to be addressed
• Objectives for the WG
• How to organise work in order to reach these objectives,
including:
– Number and regularity of meetings
4. Issues identified
• The lack of clarity as regards:
• the scale and nature of the demand for access at
EU level to text and data mining (TDM);
• the extent to which licences are delivering such
access; and
• the technological conditions for ensuring effective
TDM access.
5. Objectives for the WG
• Identify technical and contractual approaches to
dealing with the issues identified. Specifically:
• Identify the scale of demand for TDM access at EU
level for text mining of scientific publications and
underlying data for research purposes, and
appropriate means of meeting this demand.
• Explore the potential and possible limits of
standard licensing models, as well as assess the
appropriateness and feasibility of technology
platforms to facilitate TDM access.
6. Solutions
 What solutions and best practices should the WG
pursue?
 What proposals can you make for taking this
work forward?
 E.g. specific subgroups, external expertise?
