Data Access and Sharing Policies

Until the Board has decided on the Governance Model for the e-InfrastructureAn operational combination of digital technologies (hardware and software), resources (data and services), communications (protocols, access rights and networks), and the people and organizational structures needed to support research efforts and collaboration in the large., both the Data Access and Sharing Policies and the Software Policies can not be finalized.
The chapters below describe how the policies are inventoried, defined, and implemented.

The implementation phase will commence once requests for active use of the e-InfrastructureAn operational combination of digital technologies (hardware and software), resources (data and services), communications (protocols, access rights and networks), and the people and organizational structures needed to support research efforts and collaboration in the large. are accepted, and a structure is in place to negotiate the collaboration, and monitor the use of the e-InfrastructureAn operational combination of digital technologies (hardware and software), resources (data and services), communications (protocols, access rights and networks), and the people and organizational structures needed to support research efforts and collaboration in the large..
