Is there a distinction between papers that are just openly accessible,
and papers that can be freely reproduced on other sites, or other
media in your classifications.
I am trying o identifi the concept of an open work. If it is simply
something that I can access, that qualifies the whole of the Internet.
But can I make copies, preserve it or present it in some other form.
Who has enough rights so that the conditions of work availability can
evolve with the state of the art in documents access, presentation,
organization.
What we do now in not the end of progress in publication. My concern
is the future.
Why do I worry : because I spend much time working on orphan works
issues. I am trying to determine when the rightsholder is needed to
ensure adequate life and survival of a work. Being accessible for
reading is just not enough.
