A research or resource commons requires agreement among providers or participants about its legal structure, the technical requirements for common resources, and a shared understanding about how to sustain the commons. Legal issues, usually involving intellectual property or contract law, often arise as researchers, or research funders, seek to build commons or commons-based tools, such as Creative Commons licenses. There are three major objectives for the workshop to be held at American University. First, the attendees will review lessons learned from those who have worked to build or to promote the use of commons structures to support scientific research from within the federal government and from the private sector, including the non-profit sector. Next, the members will identify the legal, technical, and cultural requirements for a successful commons, with a particular focus on scientific data. The key themes will be the respective roles of standardization and interoperability at the legal and technical levels necessary for resources to be shared in a commons, whether those resources are literature, data, physical inputs, or others. Third, they will discuss how the federal government, the university and non-profit sector, and industry can best work together to support existing successful resource commons in science and to create new commons or commons-based tools to improve the speed and efficiency of publicly funded scientific research. Attention will be given to how existing commons standards, such as legal and technical tools supplied by Creative Commons, are currently being used in the sciences and how these might be made more useful with respect to emergent forms of scientific communication. The report of the workshop and all case studies developed will be made publicly available and published on the Internet.

研究或资源共享需要提供者或参与者就其法律的结构、共同资源的技术要求以及如何维持共享的共同理解达成一致。法律的问题，通常涉及知识产权或合同法，经常出现在研究人员或研究资助者寻求建立公共或基于公共的工具，如知识共享许可证。 在美国大学举办的研讨会有三个主要目标。 首先，与会者将回顾那些致力于建立或促进使用公共结构以支持联邦政府和私营部门（包括非营利部门）科学研究的人的经验教训。 接下来，成员们将确定一个成功的公地的法律的、技术和文化要求，特别关注科学数据。关键主题将是标准化和互操作性在法律的和技术层面上的各自作用，这些标准和互操作性是共享资源所必需的，无论这些资源是文献、数据、实物投入还是其他资源。 第三，他们将讨论联邦政府、大学和非营利部门以及工业界如何最好地合作，以支持科学领域现有的成功资源共享，并创建新的共享或基于共享的工具，以提高公共资助的科学研究的速度和效率。将关注现有的公域标准（例如知识共享提供的法律的和技术工具）目前如何在科学中使用，以及如何使这些标准在新兴的科学传播形式方面变得更有用。 讲习班的报告和编写的所有案例研究将在互联网上公开提供和发表。
