Regulatory and Ethics toolkits or frameworks for usage data

[Christina Drummond]

Greetings Everyone:

Thank you for signing up for this policy working group for the OA eBook Usage Data Trust. While things have been relatively quiet so far, this year will be a tad different as we discuss the regulatory, policy, and ethical issues related to OA eBook usage data. 

Question: Have you come across legal interoperability frameworks or toolkits that could inform usage data transfer and use agreements? Yesterday I had a chance to chat with Melissa Haendel of the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (NC3), which is a data collaborative that facilitates the transfer, aggregation and use of private health data from COVID clinical trials in the US. In discussing resources that helped the NC3 work through data transfer and use agreement development, she pointed me to: 

1. The RDA/CODATA Legal Interoperability of Research Data: Principles and Implementation Guidelines, and 
2. The Regulatory and Ethics Toolkit published by the Genomic Alliance for Public Health, which provides resources for genomic and health data sharing

Recognizing these resources apply to research data, it'd be great to surface frameworks, toolkits, or standard agreements pertaining to downstream usage data.  Please share any thoughts on this list or by direct reply.

Thank you and stay well,

Christina
