Who owns the data?
What sort of agreement do we need to enter into before using it?
UCSF
UCSF includes this on their web page at: http://opendata.profiles.ucsf.edu/xml-v1.html
Requirements
- Contact us to tell us you're using our APIs — so we don't break your app by mistake
- Every web page including Profiles data must acknowledge use, e.g. web pages about individual researchers should link back to Profiles like this `<a href="[Profiles URL]" title="Go to UCSF Profiles, powered by CTSI" rel="me">View [Insert Name Here]'s research profile</a>` — but see the requirements page for more details and HTML examples
- If you're caching results, refresh weekly (worst case: monthly), to prevent outdated data
- In what sense are these "requirements"?
- Will we indeed comply with point 2 by adding that link to each of our search result pages?
- Will we negotiate a different agreement before going live with their data?
