How often will the data be shared (e.g. daily, monthly, quarterly, annually)?
Define the end use of the data once it is shared. For example, establish whether the data will be used in a commercial context, published, or used with other data. Consider: – How will the data be used by the data requestor? – For what purpose has the data been requested? – How will the data be interpreted and/or analysed? – What is the planned end-use of the data? – Will the data be combined or linked with any other data? Why? These definitions make it clear what data is being shared and how it will be used. This promotes understanding and adds value to the data sharing arrangement as all parties can understand how and when it was created and structured and the intended use of the data by others. It also enables data users to establish interaction and comparability with other datasets.
