Digital Assets Discussion Group - Intellectual Property Task Force Meeting Minutes

2003.10.08 -- PCL 1.124, 2:00PM - 4:00PM

The DADG-IP Group met with Emilie Algenio, Steve Black, Aaron Choate, Alisha Little, Mark McFarland, Mary Sue Neilson, Rue Ramirez, and Elizabeth Schaub in attendance. This being the first meeting, the group spent a few minutes with introductions.

Mark McFarland started the meeting with a request that the DADG-IP group look at the issue of branding on Knowledge Gateway sites. The initial granting meeting the previous week had unearthed some concerns from potential grantees about what the branding issue means to individual site designs. The group will discuss various scenarios and try to come up with suggestions as to how to best implement the branding.

The group's first item of interest is the suggestion to the Knowledge Gateway that an intellectual property directory be added to the KG site. This will be used to house any IP-related documents pertaining to the site. These will include a (currently draft) materials usage statement that will provide information on how KG materials can be used. Two forms related to copyright will be also be added -- one for non-UT requestors for use of KG materials and another for KG site creators to obtain clearance for materials to be used on a KG site.

There was a first run through on fleshing out the required fields for the forthcoming metadata registry that will be used to house information about KG-related materials. More work will be done on these.

Discussion will continue on the group's mailing list with another meeting to be announced as needed.
