ELIXIR Position Paper on Suitable Business Models for Open Data

This documents outlines ELIXIR’s position on the different business models for access and use of bioinformatics data. Reflecting its commitment to Open Data, Open Source and Open Science, ELIXIR's recommendation for the European Open Science Cloud is that non-depletable resources (such as data, tools and software and standards) developed through public funding should be provided to users without charge (i.e. a “public good”).
