Module 3 handbook

You can recognise shared data by the following characteristics:

1. Shared data permissions for access and use are often restricted (e.g. non-commercial use only)
2. Shared data can be restricted to minimise harmful impacts
3. Shared data can be restricted to preserve commercial advantage
4. If re-used, shared data comes with the same restrictions and reuse limitations for subsequent sharing

Shared data is the largest category of data.

Examples of shared data:

• reports of crop disease
• medical research data
• social network data
