“The Appendices to the Resolutions of Batavia Castle are miscellaneous documents received by the General Secretariat of the Governor-General and the Council of Dutch Asia in Batavia Castle.” This dataset provides an index of document titles, the creator of the documents, the vessels and people named, document type, and the location of the documents in the archive.
CC BY-NC-SA and scientific datasets
CC BY-NC-SA requires attribution, restricts use to non-commercial purposes, and requires adaptations to be shared under the same licence. For scientific datasets, the NC (NonCommercial) clause can be problematic because it may prevent reuse by commercial researchers, industry, or organisations whose activities include commercial purposes. The SA (ShareAlike) clause can also complicate combining the dataset with other data or incorporating it into projects distributed under different licences. These restrictions may reduce interoperability, reproducibility, and broad scientific reuse. For datasets intended as open research infrastructure, more permissive licences such as CC BY or dedicated data licences may therefore be preferable.
