Reuse of Datasets

Reuse of Dataset

1. Before reusing an existing visual dataset, what should researchers check first?

The technical quality of the visual files, including image resolution and file formats

The characteristics of the repository, including its interface and how the dataset is presented

The access conditions, licensing terms, consent provisions, and available documentation for the dataset

The size of the dataset, including the number of images and videos it contains

2. Why is checking the license of a dataset important?

It explains the research findings

It specifies what users are legally allowed to do with the data

It guarantees that reuse is ethically appropriate

It replaces participant consent

3. What is the relationship between a participant’s consent to the reuse of their visual data and the license governing its use?

The license can permit reuse even when the participant has not consented to it

The participant’s consent and the license are independent, so only the license determines whether reuse is permitted

The license should reflect the participant’s consent and cannot authorize reuse beyond the scope of that consent

Once a participant consents to reuse, the license no longer affects how their visual data may be used

4. What is the purpose of guidelines for future data use?

To replace the dataset license by defining all legal conditions for accessing and reusing the data

To explain the ethical context, research purpose, consent conditions, and appropriate forms of future reuse

To summarize the research findings and explain the main conclusions reached by the project team

To describe the repository's technical features and provide instructions for downloading the dataset
