          <div style="direction:ltr">The protection of Indigenous
            knowledge is very important and this is covered in Article
            Six. The reality however is that the issues covered by the
            article are so broad that anyone wishing to keep their data
            private can do so. This was an uneasy compromise but the
            general thrust to keep data open is clear.</div>
        </div>

    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>The phrase "there are legitimate reasons to restrict access to
      and reuse of data, including interests of national security, law
      enforcement, privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property" has
      been part of every declaration on open data of the last decade I
      am aware of, which has been (formally) endorsed by major
      institutions. At least in the case of those I was involved in, I
      happen to know that without it there would have been no
      endorsement.</p>
    <p>The only part of that phrase I am truly comfortable with is the
      word "legitimate": Exactly because the clause is so broad and
      vague, and, in the better declarations, it is bracketed by the
      principle "as open as possible, as closed as necessary" and the
      requirement of "express justification" (in each case), each case
      of not disclosing data can be subjected to scrutiny and the onus
      is on the person, institution or country holding it back.</p>
    <p>Falk made us aware of an interesting article. While it it does
      not fully justify the claim in the title that "Most Research Is
      Secret" (that may just be true in the US) - it unrolls the
      unfortunate consequences of research compromised by secrecy. This
      article and its topic of health physics provide a very clear
      rationale why, in this case, there was no legitimacy to keeping
      research results secret.</p>
    <p>It would perhaps be good to assemble a collection of case studies
      - such as this one, but also ones that underpin valid, legitimate
      reasons *for* restrictions  - to help guide the ethically and
      scientifically sound evaluation of the justifications of
      restrictions. (Of course, such studies would need to be subject
      to, preferably open, peer review and/or other quality control, to
      avoid being misled by narrative based on false claims.)<br>
    </p>
    <p>For example, which detrimental things happen when Indigenous
      knowledge is made openly available? <br>
      I somehow remember a case in the UK, where the tobacco industry
      tried to use a "freedom of information" act to get at data from a
      study on how juveniles acquired the addiction to smoking - and
      anyone can guess how they would have used it. Scientific rules
      might have said that data should best be open to scrutiny - but
      ethics clearly says: Not so fast!<br>
