EMELD digital language documentation Best Practices #7:
- Rights
- Resource creators, researchers and the speech communities who provide the primary data have different priorities over who has access to language resources.
- Solution
- Terms of use should be well documented, and enforced if necessary with encryption or licensing. It is important however to limit the duration of access restrictions: A resource whose access is permanently restricted to one user is of no long-term value since it cannot be used once that user is gone.
