Levels of access restrictions for Language Resources at the HZSK
HZSK-PUB language resources can be accessed freely and distributed PUBlicly. The distribution of these materials is not restricted by copyright or personal data protection issues. It is not necessary to provide user credentials to access these resources.
HZSK-ACA language resources can be accessed only for research purposes by ACAdemic researchers. The end-user does not need to ask for usage permission but can access the resources with a valid account from a research institution that is included in the CLARIN trusted domain.
HZSK-RES language resources have additional REStrictions, which require permission from the rights holder. These resources may contain material whose usage is limited due to copyright and/or personal data protection issues. In practice, these language resources require both using a valid account from a research institution to authenticate the end-user and sending a separate application to the rights holder for authorization, possibly including a research plan with the resource.
Most resources at the HZSK are RES resources that have individual access restrictions, in most cases because of privacy law concerns (IPR issues are usually not a problem). While we aim to guide users to create PUB or ACA corpora in their research projects, it is in the "in the nature" of the type of corpora (corpora of spontaneous spoken language) in our repository to have special requirements concerning privacy laws.
Only few of our resources are "real" ACA resources (e.g. HaMaTaC). While the others are also generally freely available for academic audiences, as they are only available upon request they are technically RES resources.
