Zebrafish Information Network (ZFIN) - zfin

Grade: The grade for the resource as automatically determined by the criteria violations.; 2
Description: A full description of the resource from the resource itself, if possible.; The Zebrafish Information Resource is the community database resource for the laboratory use of zebrafish which develops and supports integrated zebrafish genetic, genomic and developmental information, maintains the definitive reference data sets of zebrafish research information toward facilitation of the use of zebrafish as a model for human biology.

Source type: (Optional) How the resource relates to the data it contains. Current allowable entries are: "unknown", "repository", "source", "integrator", and "warehouse".; TBD
Curation status: Whether or not annotation is complete on this resource. Current allowable entries are: "complete", "incomplete", and "nonpublic".; complete
Field: The area of research for the resource.; biology
Type: The type of data the resource contains.; model organism database
Categories: (Optional) Tags to describe the resource and its data.; TBD
Access: (Optional) Links to the resource's data.; download
License: The license that is used by the resource. We use SPDX where we can or: "inconsistent", "public domain", "unlicensed", "all rights reserved", or "custom".; custom

License location: (Optional) The link to the resource license.; http://zfin.org/warranty.html
Focused curation: (Optional) Setting this flag to true indicates that the licensing was combinatorially complicated enough (as is the case in some commercial licenses) that the curator chose to wear a single "hat" during the process. From the site text: "While we try to cover as much of the licensing possibilities of a data resource that we can, in a few cases we may choose a particular "hat" to wear while evaluating to prevent a combinatorial explosion, which may also reduce the clarity of our curations for the community. In these cases, we may take on the role of a (1) non-commercial (2) academic (3) group that is (4) based in the US and trying to (5) create an aggregating resource, noting that other entities may have different results in the license commentary."; false
Issues: (Optional) Structured issues with the license. For every issue discovered with a resource, there should be a corresponding item in the license-issues field that marks the /exact/ violation, along with any comments. This field can be used by resources as the first step to improvement, as well as clarify any surrounding circumstances. Any issues or thoughts about a resource that do not slot into one of the criteria violations can go into the license-commentary field.; Criteria A.2.2: Custom license with non-academic and non-research use restrictions.
Criteria B.1: The license explicity requires intervention for downstream reuse and redistribution.
Criteria D.1.2: The license requires written permission for redistribution.
Criteria E.1.2: The license requires written premission for redistribution even for academic and non commerical parties.
Commentary: (Optional) Further commentary on the license, possibly including the though process of the curations and things like locations of additional licenses.; • -ZFIN Software and Data are provided to enhance knowledge and encourage progress in the scientific community, and are to be used only for research and educational purposes.

Controversial: (Optional) Marker noting that there was some extended internal discussion or controversy about the evaluation of the licensing terms. If this is marked at "true", the controversy, or a link to a permanent archive of the controversy, must be sufficiently contained in the "license-commentary" to reconstruct the issues.; false
