3. 3 Overview Research and Valorization Valorization policies FLOSS : Free – Libre – Open Source – Software Open Source Licences Open Archives

4. 4 Research and Valorization Valorization of research = return on investment Production of research : papers – software – data – know-how – education / expertise Type of return : ● money – fame – knowledge – data – technical ressources ● Improvement : economic – social – education – management ● Sovereignty : e.g. security, technology, culture Return for whom ? Researcher – team – institute – country – Science – mankind Return when ? choices, conflicts ==> policies

5. 5 Valorization Policies Flexible and varied policies from open/free to very proprietary to accomodate parameters actors – context – type of result by all available means ● Intellectual property ● Start-ups ● Consortiums ● Proprietary licencing... exclusive or non-exclusive ● Open access / open source ● Etc. alone or in combination

6. 6 FLOSS : Free – Libre – Open Source Software Considerable software productionsoftware production Significant part is distributed as free software (CD, WEB)free software Choice of licence is opportunity based (valorization) Large number of free software based industrial and academic cooperations. INRIA regularly participate in Free Software Events ● sponsored the first one in 1998 in Paris ● Regularly represented at Solutions Linux (Paris in February) ● Major participant at Paris Capital du Libre in 2006 ● Represented in various events around the world

7. 7 CeCILLCeCILL free software licences Need for French free software licences Meeting French constraints : legal and linguistic Properly interpreted under French and European law Compatible with current free software practice or licences 3 Licences produced by CEA, CNRS and INRIA CeCILL-A : similar to and fully compatible with GNU GPL (2004) CeCILL-B : similar to BSD CeCILL-C : similar to GNU LGPL Coherent family available in English and French Now ported at European level

8. 8 Open Archives Idea launched by physicists in early 90s : ArXiv – Los Alamos World-wide move for freely accessible scientific publications 2004 : INRIA signs the Berlin declaration (with CNRS, INRA, INSERM) 2005 : INRIA open archives, built on HAL (Hyper Article on-Line)HAL Purposes : ● Free access to knowledge ● Control of scientific results by the scientific community ● Accessible, without charge, universal and interoperable ● Visibility of scientific results ● Long term preservation of scientific memory (stable address)

9. 9 Open Archives - HAL Today a national / International cooperation : 2006 : Common Repository Memorandum :Common Repository Memorandum CEMAGREF, CIRAD, CNRS, INRA, INRIA, Inserm, IRD andPasteur InstituteCEMAGREFCIRADCNRSINRAINRIAInsermIRDPasteur Institute Supported by French Science Academy Based on HAL, developped by CCSD at CNRSHALCCSD Interoperable with existing repositories each institution can access (put, fetch) through its local repository, according to local format and practices.

10. 10 What else ? Data : e.g. Lexicons – grammar – corpora –... Courseware Lectures and audiovisual resources What are the proper licences ? (database law) Is current law compatible with desirable practices, such as evolution sharing ? Imagining, testing and analysing new cooperative practices Cooperative quality assessment Open-source specific research issues Improving global competence through free tools availability
