Topic: Search for datasets in an LRC area
Could you advise the best way to gain enhanced access for an LRC? I applied for access to all datasets in BIS area last March. Out of about 85, 30 have not replied. I wanted to apply for access to all those that have been added since March 2014. However there is no filter to just request access to new datasets. I tried to select manually the data sets that I thought were new but the filter seems to have failed somehow and so request has gone to all data managers again. Otherwise I presume I have to work through latest datasets and apply individually, which is a tedious job.
BIS has also had some rejections because the data is at public resolution. However the rules specifically say that a not-for-profit still has to ask for permission to use this data for LRC reporting. So there is confusion there. Also it is not easy when doing bulk access request which are already at public resolution.
It would be good when the LRC full access is considered to be a default position so that all the data is used to its full potential under LRC licence.
