Abstract

Despite various studies evincing the huge potential locked up in public sector information (PSI), this potential is far from being fully exploited. To a large extent, this failure is caused by the immensely complex legal labyrinth surrounding PSI re-use. This complexity works in two ways: public sector bodies do not comply with the regulatory framework and reusers do not avail themselves of the legal instruments offered, resulting in an unexploited economic potential. What makes the legal framework so complex is the transcending nature of PSI re-use, as it blends four areas of law – freedom of information law, ICT law, intellectual property law and competition law – that, throughout the years, have been regulated at a European, national and even sect oral level, but in isolation. The fundamental impact that ICT developments have on our society, subsequently also rocking the legal rules and underlying principles and axioms, makes the picture even more complicated. In this article, these legal frameworks are reverse engineered, demonstrating their interaction, culminating in a conceptual framework that allows public sector bodies and re-users (and courts where necessary) to apply and rely on the rules.
逆向工程欧洲的PSI再利用规则——面向PSI再利用的集成概念框架
尽管各种研究表明,公共部门信息(PSI)蕴含着巨大的潜力,但这种潜力远未得到充分利用。在很大程度上,这种失败是由围绕PSI再利用的极其复杂的法律迷宫造成的。这种复杂性以两种方式起作用:公共部门机构不遵守管理框架,再使用者不利用所提供的法律文书,导致未开发的经济潜力。使法律框架如此复杂的是PSI再利用的超越性,因为它融合了四个法律领域——信息自由法、信息和通信技术法、知识产权法和竞争法——这些法律多年来一直在欧洲、国家甚至宗派一级进行监管,但都是孤立的。信息和通信技术的发展对我们的社会产生了根本性的影响,随后也动摇了法律规则和基本原则和公理,使情况更加复杂。在本文中,对这些法律框架进行了反向工程,展示了它们之间的相互作用,最终形成了一个概念框架,允许公共部门机构和重用者(以及必要时的法院)应用和依赖这些规则。
