The Act of 21 November 1996 on museums, which has been in force for over 20 years (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 972, as amended), has been amended dozen or more times. Seven of these amendments entered into force in the last two years (2016–2017). They were to a large extent of adjustment character, and concerned inter alia the competence requirements for museum professionals (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 60), removals of museum exhibits from museum inventory (Journal of Laws of 2016, item 1330, and of 2017, item 1086) and the Council of Museums being replaced by the Council of Museums and Memorial Sites (Journal of Laws of 2016, item 749). Amendments concerning the admission charges in museums were of systemic character (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 132) as well as the restitution amendments introduced in Article 57 of the Act of 25 May 2017 on restitution of the national cultural goods, including a new penal provision added to the Act on museums (Art. 34.a in a new chapter 5.a – Journal of Laws of 2017, item 1086). Apart from amendments described in this article, others ought to be mentioned – related to an informative aspect. In this context, the amendments to the Act on museums being in force since 16 June 2016, provided for in Article 29 of the Act of 25 February 2016 on the re-use of public sector information (Journal of Laws of 2016, item 352, as amended) are of great significance. References to this Act can be found in section 4 of Art. 25 and section 4 of Art. 25.a of the Act on museums, added by this amendment, which regulate introducing and charging fees for museum exhibits being prepared and made accessible for different from usual purposes, and for permitting to use their images. Article 31.a of the Act on museums added by this amendment has been repealed by the Art. 34 of the Act of 10 June 2016 on delegating customer services to employees (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 132). The latter Act added Article 30.a of the Act on museums, related in its contents to this regulation. It states that the access to information for safeguarding museum exhibits is limited for the sake of protection from fire, theft and other type of danger which could bring damage or loss of the museum collection.

Quo Vadis

New technologies have irreversibly changed the nature of the traditional way of exercising the right to free access to information. In the current information society, the information available to public authorities is not just a tool for controlling the public administration and increasing its transparency. Information has become an asset that individuals and legal entities also seek to use for business purposes. PSI particularly in form of open data create new opportunities for developing and improving the performance of public administration.In that regard, authors analyze the term open data and its legal framework from the perspective of European Union law, Slovak legal order and Czech legal order. Furthermore, authors focus is on the relation between open data regime, public sector information re-use regime and free access to information regime.New data protection regime represented by General Data Protection Regulation poses several challenges when it comes to processing of public sector information in form of open data. The article highlights the most important challenges of new regime being compliance with purpose specification, selection of legal ground and other important issues.

Public sector use of the robot exclusion standard raises interesting questions about transparency, availability of public sector information and the principle of public access to information. This paper explores both actual examples of how public sector agencies in Sweden use the standard and an analysis of the legal problems related to use of the standard.

Right Of Access

This study addresses the types of formats and ease of reuse of transparency-related information available on the websites of 53 national public libraries and 53 provincial historic archives. Further to Spain’s Transparency Act, reuse of public sector information is one of the elements comprising the right of access to information. Access and use must consequently be ensured to enable citizens and businesses to reuse all available data. The working methodology deployed here consisted in searching for, identifying and analysing the transparency-related documents carried on library and archive websites and the legal warnings governing their reuse. The findings revealed a wide variety of formats and rules governing reuse and indications of scant interest in these institutions in fostering the transparency and reuse of public information. Even when available, reusable information was normally found to be posted either separately from the data furnished by libraries and archives directly or positioned on pages or sections with complex access paths.

Range Of Variation

Since the original foundation of the genus Dichobune by Cuvier, and the critical observations made thereon by Owen, the national collection has continued to receive new accessions, indicating the existence of a certain range of variation in the molars of that genus.The specimen (No. 30673) in the British Museum collection, is figured in Plate II., by Mr. Mackie. It consists of the three molars of the right side of a species of small quadruped closely resembling Dichobune. The length of the fractured ramus containing these teeth, of which the inner aspect is exposed to the observer, measures 27mm.; its greatest vertical depth between the penultimate and last molar being 11mm.The last molar (m 3) measures 7mm. in length, and 4 in breadth. Its form is quadricuspid; the two outward cusps being least eroded; from the ectoposterior cusp is developed a slight basal talon, extending towards the entoposterior cusp, which is the smallest of the four, pyramidal, and acuminate; the entoanterior cusp is larger, and is tipped with a small exposed ring of enamel; the ectoanterior cusp is much worn; there is no trace of the distinct hinder lobe of Xiphodon, which lobe in the Dichobune (sp. ?) from Hordwell, marked 29714 in the British Museum, exhibits a well-marked bicuspid division, having the effect of rendering the ultimate molar in that specimen virtually hexacuspid, to a greater extent than in the Dichobune ovina.

Datos Abiertos

En los últimos años hemos asistido a un importante proceso de modernización tecnológica en España que ha afectado a las Administraciones Públicas. Más allá de las limitaciones en la regulación, en este proceso se percibe la importancia de los datos en general y de los datos abiertos en particular como uno de los ejes principales para reforzar las exigencias y principios del Gobierno Abierto. En esta ponencia se pretende analizar la evolución del marco normativo aplicable en España y ponerlo en relación con las recientes iniciativas que está impulsando la Unión Europea para promocionar la reutilización de la información del sector público y los datos abiertos. In the last few years we have witnessed a significant process of technological modernisation in Spain that has impacted on Public Administrations. Beyond the limitations in the regulation, in this process the importance of data and open data particularly is perceived as one of the main axes to strengthen the requirements and principles of Open Government. This lecture aims to analyse the evolution of the regulatory framework applicable in Spain and to connect it with the recent initiatives being promoted by the European Union to foster the reuse of public sector information and open data.

Mutual Communication

The gradual “penetration” of an innovative, digitally-oriented information society, in the scope of the actual convergence among telecommunications, broadcasting and information technology, create primary opportunities for access and exploitation of Public Sector Information (PSI), in the context of a fully competitive and liberalised European electronic communications market. There are now significant challenges on the scene, for improving mutual communication between public sector and private companies, thus creating chances for exploiting new opportunities, to the benefit of the broader European market(s). However, the non-existence of an appropriate legal framework governing the conditions and/or terms for the commercial use of PSI constitutes a serious drawback for any serious attempt towards evolution, and for an effective development of a European e-Communications market. Recent European regulatory-oriented policies have established and supported suitable measures and provisions, to ensure access to PSI for all interested parties and for their “free” circulation among Member States. In the context of the suggested contribution we examine current European harmonization regulatory measures, towards creating transparency and legal security for all market players involved in the wider content market, thus contributing to growth.
