Tranche's implementation of the Science Commons Open Access Database Protocol
Please Note: Tranche is not yet certified by the Science Commons. We are working closely with the Science Commons to be featured in the tentatively planned mid-January 2008 press release of technical implementations. The information on this page may or may not accurately represent the opinion of the Science Commons.

The Science Commons has formally recommended how resources such as Tranche can formally mark data as either open-access or restricted. In particular the goal is to clearly mark what data is "open access", meaning truly free to use; however, this effort does not mean that tools such as Tranche can't support restricted access data sets. Simply put, if your data is intended to be open access, you can now rely on the work of the Science Commons to unambiguously mark it as open access. This is something that many Tranche users desire, and we were happy to implement the Science Commons recommendations.
