Frankel This project contributes to the NSF Knowledge and Distributed Intelligence research area, being directed at deepening our understanding of the ethical, legal, and social implications of Knowledge Networking. This series of workshops will examine the intellectual property issues associated with electronic publishing in science. Electronic journals in science, engineering and medicine have grown dramatically in recent years. However, for the most part these publications are merely electronic reproductions of their print counterparts; they have been slow to adopt the novel features that online production makes possible. There are a variety of reasons for this, but whether or not electronic publications are to reach their full potential and be fully embraced by the scientific community will ultimately depend on establishing a clear and stable legal framework. The advent of electronic publishing poses a number of intellectual property issues for science, even in light of recent national and global efforts to bring copyright law into the information age. For example, to what extent can the notion of science as a `public good` be understood and valued in the increasing commercialization of the electronic market place? What should be the features of a legal framework that assures the protection of property interests yet encourages open communication and innovation? How will acceptable fair use exceptions be implemented in the context of electronic publishing? What is the `work` to be protected in dynamic/ interactive work? What changes in intellectual property law, if any, are needed to protect the creators and distributors of scientific databases? To what extent can technological innovations supplement or function as useful alternatives to new laws for protecting the reproduction and distribution rights of authors and publishers? These and related questions will be the focus of this proposal for a two-year project involving two workshops linked by a series of working group meetings consisting of key stakeholder groups in the sciences, electronic publishing, and intellectual property law. Recommendations for establishing a legal framework for U.S. copyright law as applied to electronic publishing in science are expected to be generated by the project and will be widely disseminated via print and electronic media. To ensure as much as possible their consideration by stakeholders and their impact on law and public policy, AAAS will sponsor briefings for scientific societies, associations, and publishers, and the press as well as Congress and appropriate federal agencies. The project is co-sponsored by two AAAS standing committees: the Committee on Scientific Freedom and Responsibility and the National Conference of Lawyers and Scientists, a joint committee with the American Bar Association. An advisory committee, drawing on the most knowledgeable members of both committees on issues related to electronic publishing and intellectual property law, has been formed to guide the project.

弗兰克尔（Frankel）该项目有助于NSF知识和分布式情报研究领域，致力于加深我们对知识网络的道德，法律和社会影响的理解。这一系列研讨会将研究与科学中电子出版有关的知识产权问题。近年来，科学，工程和医学的电子期刊已经显着增长。但是，在大多数情况下，这些出版物仅仅是其印刷品的电子复制品。他们采用在线生产所能实现的新颖功能的速度很慢。造成这种情况的原因有很多，但是电子出版物是否要发挥其全部潜力，并被科学界完全接受，最终将取决于建立明确稳定的法律框架。 鉴于最近的国家和全球为将版权法带入信息时代，电子出版的出现对科学构成了许多知识产权问题。例如，在越来越多的电子市场商业化中，可以将科学作为“公共商品”的概念在多大程度上被理解和评价？法律框架的特征应该是什么来确保保护财产利益却鼓励开放沟通和创新的特征？在电子发布的背景下，如何实现可接受的公平用途例外？在动态/互动工作中要保护的“工作”是什么？知识产权法（如果有的话）有哪些变化来保护科学数据库的创建者和分销商？技术创新可以在多大程度上补充或功能作为保护作者和出版商的生殖和分销权的新法律的有用替代方法？ 这些和相关的问题将是为期两年的项目的重点，涉及两个讲习班，其中包括一系列工作组会议，包括科学，电子出版和知识产权法的关键利益相关者群体。预计将由该项目产生的针对科学电子出版的美国版权法的法律框架的建议，并将通过印刷和电子媒体广泛传播。为了确保利益相关者尽可能多地考虑他们对法律和公共政策的影响，AAAS将赞助科学社会，协会和出版商，新闻界以及国会和适当的联邦机构的简报。该项目由两个AAAS常设委员会共同赞助：科学自由与责任委员会以及美国律师协会联合委员会的全国律师与科学家会议。咨询委员会借鉴了两个委员会在与电子出版和知识产权法有关的问题上最有知识的成员，以指导该项目。
