"Open data is:
- Available: the data should be in whole, downloadable from the Internet, with no costs apart from reproduction fees
- Accessible: the data should be provided in a convenient form that can be modified
- Reusable: this should be expressed under terms provided with the data
- Redistributable: the data can be combined with data from other research
- Unrestricted: everyone can use, modify, and share the data, regardless of how they use the data (e.g. for commercial, non-commercial, or educational purposes)"
