"I often work from one piece of information to the next". Open Data – Open Science – open to all or are there still barriers?

An Interview with Barbara Levc

Abstract

Open Science and Open Data as well as Fair-Data are buzzwords that have become an integral part of the academic discourse. However, little or no attention is paid to the fact that open data is often not really open to all potential users. Persons with different restrictions sometimes have no access to information. This fact is often unaware. Far too seldom, affected persons are included in the considerations. Ms. Levc, herself blind, working at the Center for Integrated Studying at the University of Graz, has kindly provided information about her handling of information.
