Kim Considers Ways that the Data May Be Repurposed
Kim now has a good sense of how much of Dr. Smart's data can be shared without restrictions, and how much of it will need extended protections. She's presently at the point of investigating another aspect of data sharing and access - the means of distributing the data for reuse and creation of derivatives. Dr. Smart would like to be able to point to his data sets from this research, making them freely available, rather than have to provide them on demand. He's interested in making his data easily discoverable and easily accessible.
In this part, you will find out some of the ways to make research data available for sharing and reuse, such as modes and levels of access.
