A digitized version of the 47500 entries the VOC made in their realia in order to help their colleagues navigate the 211000 pages of resolutions of the meetings of the High Council in Batavia. The dataset creators have categorized the 47500 entries into 2050 subject topics.
Unfortunately, the dataset creators are not made clear. The data is based on an OCR’d version of physical publications from the Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen created in 1882-1886.
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.
