Hi everyone,
I am working with a team on a large literature review on peer-reviewed studies on Wikipedia. In the next week or so we expect to release the main dataset of our extraction to a public SMW wiki for comments and feedback before we proceed with further analysis. We're not planning to set up a permanent, dynamic website; we just want to post our data, get communal feedback to clean it up, and then eventually export the data to relevant long-term sites like AcaWiki, Brede Wiki and WikiPapers. We are wondering how to license our site. We are naturally inclined to CC-BY-SA, like Wikipedia (and also Brede Wiki and WikiPapers), but we noticed that AcaWiki, one of our main export targets, is licensed CC-BY, which cannot use CC-BY-SA material. We like CC-BY-SA because it keeps derivatives free for communal reuse; however, we recognize that CC-BY is more flexible, since it permits publishing derivatives in journals that require full copyright transfer. (Of course, this is talking about copyright and copyright transfer; the CC-BY and academic standards against plagiarism would require attribution of the source, which is not the issue here.) I just now subscribed to this list to post this question, but I'm guessing there must have been discussion in the past on why AcaWiki is licensed CC-BY. We'd really love to hear thoughts on licensing considerations for sites that publish academic summaries and specific recommendations for our upcoming data release. In particular, is there a feasible way to release CC-BY-SA data, yet somehow make the data available for AcaWiki?
