The AusGOAL website now features a video of Ross Wilkinson, Executive Director of ANDS, explaining why licensing is important to ANDS.
ANDS is promoting the use of AusGOAL in the research and innovation sector in order to build on the work already done in creating a single approach to licensing in the government sector.
ANDS has established two groups to share information about licensing. If you are interested in joining in the discussions, please contact Margaret.Henty@ands.org.au. They are the
Research Data Licensing Working Group for Infrastructure Providers and the
University Data Licensing Implementers Group.
