Licensing

Licence and attribution requirements belong to each resource and its owner. Catalogue visibility does not assign a licence or permission to use the underlying data.

Licence Types

The source gives three explanatory licence categories. Confirm the actual notice for each dataset, vocabulary or software component; no single licence applies to this catalogue.

Creative Commons Attribution 4.0

Where an owner explicitly applies CC BY 4.0, sharing and adaptation may be permitted, including commercial use, with required credit and an indication of changes. The source associates this category with selected aggregates and reference material; that example does not establish the licence of any Heritage record.

Custom data-use agreement

Controlled surveillance, clinical or outbreak resources may require a project-specific agreement. Approved purposes, ethics review, re-identification restrictions, publication review, attribution and any archiving rights must come from that actual agreement.

Apache License 2.0

Software may use Apache 2.0 where its repository says so. Follow its licence, notice and change-documentation requirements. Preserve separate licences of dependencies and vocabulary constituents.

Attribution Guidelines

Proper attribution helps acknowledge the consortium's work and ensures compliance with funding requirements.

Conditional templates. Use the academic and policy templates from Heritage Alliance Ltd, and eventually if required from funding sources disclaimer. Confirm the record’s evidence and preserve additional owner and licence notices. These examples do not assign funding to other datasets.

<Placeholder> Funding Acknowledgement

All outputs using data catalogued by Heritage Alliance Ltd must include the following acknowledgement, completed with the applicable project and funding information:

This work uses data from the <Placeholder> project, which has received funding from the <Placeholder>. Views and opinions expressed are those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the <Placeholder>.

Complete these placeholders only with the applicable, documented project, funder and disclaimer organisations. Different datasets may have different funding.

Custom Licensing

Retain all additional attribution required by the original data owner and applicable licence. If terms or funding evidence are missing, ask the owner before publishing an acknowledgement or reusing a resource.
