Abstract:	In response to a request from several federal science agencies, the NRC undertook a study to review the issues surrounding private rights and public access and interest to scientific and technical databases. The group reviewed the creation, production and dissemination of these databases from the government, commercial and not-for-profit sectors. A variety of examples within the sciences were reviewed. The report takes a specific look at the pending Database Protection legislation at that time, and the European Database Directive with these issues in mind.
