Open Access data: These are published, released to public domain as international public goods (IPGs), which has no objection from the creator(s) for redistribution of the data and its derived products. Anyone can access to these data while adhering to IPRs, ensuring proper credits, citations and acknowledgements to use of the data. Restricted data: These are under imposed of various restriction levels viz., individual scientist, within research group/programs/projects, within CRPDS, within CGIAR, etc based on the restriction imposed by the creator(s) and owner (s) and purchased (licensed). These data will be released to requested end users on case by case. For example, when user request data after looking the metadata (data about data, not actual data) on web applications and centralized knowledge warehouse, after reading its basic info decided to click on the getdata, system will send the request to creator, its creator who decides whether to approve ‘access’ or ‘deny’…
