Policy Plan to Promote Distribution and Utilization of Scientific Data

For scientific data, the vanguard in the era of informatics science, can function as a verification tool for research outcomes and enhance productivity of R&D from reuse of yielded scientific data, related policies are being discussed. Supervision and utilization system of scientific data is drawing attention for the importance of 'Big data' and the shift in paradigm of research. Legislation authorities consider distribution and utilization of scientific data play important roles in enhancing national competitiveness and now on the phase of enacting related supervision policies. Despite that other countries are attempting legal approaches on a national level for systematic supervision of scientific data, Korea lacks supplementary supervision strategies of scientific data on a national level. Korea only provides scientific data in forms of bibliography, statistic, etc. in regard to distribution & utilization system of scientific data, and the failure of incentive system in supervising and publicizing scientific data is implicated as the primary reason behind impeding development of distribution & utilization system of scientific data. Therefore in this paper, general environment and legal issues in distribution and utilization of scientific data related to national R&D program, or in other words, ⅰ) Government 3.0 and distribution & utilization policy of scientific data, ⅱ) issues in disclosure of scientific data related to Copyright Act and Public Data Act, and ⅲ) relation between distribution & utilization of scientific data and personal information were analyzed. Based on my analysis, policy alternatives for distribution & utilization of scientific data, that is, ⅰ) clarification of scientific data for registration and donation and its coordination with incentive system, ⅱ) shifting focus of strategy from scientific data supervision to utilization, ⅲ) coordination between research field and publication system when constructing repository for scientific data, and ⅳ) revision to facilitate distribution & utilization of scientific data are each proposed.
