Executive summary
This document formalizes the content of the deliverable D3.9–Documentation on Open Data of the
VERTIGO project.
Simultaneous to the completion of the STARTS Residencies program organized by VERTIGO, the pur-
pose of the publication of the open dataset presented in this document is to provide further studies with
open and sustainable support, a comprehensive set of information on the program for further studies.
The dataset is a subset of texts available on the vertigo.starts.eu website; it extends its access and use
conditions :

   •   use beyond the basic copyright conditions of the website enabling publication within defined
       conditions;

   •   sustainability: long-term access beyond the potential web site life cycle.
After an introduction to VERTIGO and the STARTS Residencies program (Section 1), the document
presents the dataset (Section 2) and its licensing conditions (Section 3).

SECTION 1 – Introduction to VERTIGO-STARTS Residen-
cies
VERTIGO is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA) supported by the European Commission, under
the European H2020 ICT S+T+ARTS initiative, innovation at the nexus of Science Technology, and the
ARTS, supported by European’s Commission DG-CONNECT. STARTS promotes the arts as catalysts
for efficient conversion of science and technology knowledge into products, services, and processes.
The period of execution of VERTIGO was from December 2016 to May 2020 (42 months). It was
managed by a European consortium including the following partners :

    •   IRCAM-Centre Pompidou (Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique, France)
        – Project Coordinator : Hugues Vinet (IRCAM)
    •   Fhg-IUK (ICT Group of the Fraunhofer Institute, Germany)
    •   EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland)
    •   Inova+ (SME, Portugal)
    •   Artshare (SME, Portugal)
    •   Libelium (SME, Spain)
    •   Association Culture Tech (France)
VERTIGO was selected in the framework of the first H2020 ICT Call (ICT36-2015) supporting the
STARTS initiative. To achieve its objectives, the STARTS Residencies program managed by VERTIGO
has organized and funded artist residencies within Tech Projects - companies, research labs, universities
and consortia located in Europe and managing research, development and innovation project, either
internal or collaborative.
The STARTS Residencies program was organised in 3 yearly open calls for proposals which were selected
by an international jury. A total budget of 900.000 € has been allocated for funding the participation of
artists in 45 residencies. The selected artists were expected to contribute to the innovative aspects of
Tech Projects’ research by bringing original perspectives through artistic practices. Those practices would
lead to the production of original artwork based on the project technology and featuring novel use-cases
with a high potential for innovation. STARTS Residencies also acted as a platform to showcase produced
works to the public and actors of innovation in the framework of various public events and communica-
tion actions and through the development of the STARTS starts.eu web site.
The 3 yearly calls for the selection of the residencies stakeholders took place from 2017 to 2019, each of
which included 2 steps: first a call for Tech Projects interested in hosting an artist which resulted in the
selection and publication of a list of available Tech Projects, and then a call for artistic residencies based
on one Tech project from the list and aiming at producing an artwork based on the Tech Project tech-
nology. Artists could apply alone or together with a Producer, an organisation willing to bring additional
support (funding, production means) to the residency and the artwork production and dissemination.
STARTS Residencies also therefore organised a call for Producers available for considering joint appli-
cations with artists. After review of the residencies application by the concerned Tech Projects represent-
atives, an international jury then selected the best STARTS residencies matching the various defined
criteria including the congruence with the Tech Project’s expectations, the artistic quality, the technical
approach, the potential innovation impact and the relevance of the implementation plan.

                                   tion between creative industries, entrepreneurs, researchers and arts

Once residencies were selected, a process of collaboration was started and coordinated by one repre-
sentative of VERTIGO-STARTS Residencies, following a monitoring methodology defined for all the
residencies. This process, which started with the signature of a co-production agreement between all
stakeholders (Tech project, artist(s), VERTIGO representative, optional Producer) included 3 formal
meetings (inception, mid-term, completion) with defined deliveries for each of them.
VERTIGO also developed the starts.eu web platform which is the main matchmaking hub of the
STARTS community. All information about VERTIGO and its STARTS Residencies program is pre-
sented in the subdomain vertigo.starts.eu. It contains all public information about the selected residen-
cies, the selected Tech Projects and Producers, the presentation of events in which the residencies were
presented, as well as all written public documentation (deliverables, brochure, event programs, etc.).

SECTION 2 – Presentation of the open dataset
This section presents the motivations which drove to the setting of the open dataset, an introduction to
its contents and their detailed description.

2.1. Introduction to the dataset
As VERTIGO is a Coordination and Support Action supporting the STARTS program, it did not include
research activities aiming at producing a scientific dataset. However, its program of art-science residencies
was organised at an unprecedented scale and generated a significant amount of new knowledge which
may be useful for further studies. This knowledge concerns the methodology it developed for art-science
team building (the process of the call), for ensuring their proper execution through a formalised
monitoring approach, and detailed information about each of the residencies and of the concerned
stakeholders (Artists, Tech Projects, Producers).
All related information is published on the vertigo.starts.eu project’s website. The purpose of this open
dataset is to give long-term access to a set of data which is expected to last beyond the life cycle of the
vertigo.starts.eu website, while providing additional rights of use beyond the website’s copyright terms
which limit the use to access.
A detailed study was performed on the contents that could be part of the dataset and the related delivery
license. This latter aspect is presented in Section 3. As for the choice of data, the goal was to include an
as comprehensive view as possible, while not infringing third-party rights, including for the contents
produced by the STARTS Residencies stakeholders. In particular, for all contents present in the website,
rights were granted, unless specific additional agreements, on the basis of the Legal conditions of the
vertigo.starts.eu website, which prevents to use the contents outside of the starts.eu website. This implied
that the dataset should exclude all media (photos videos, audio, etc.) potentially including neighbouring
rights that were not documented, and include only texts.
The information present in the dataset can be summarized as follows :

    •   a presentation of each of the 45 residencies, made of the following elements :
             o The residency portfolio: produced by the VERTIGO partners at the completion of the
                  residency, it provides all factual information (involved stakeholders, the period of
                  execution), abstracts, and a synthesis on the residency: its elements of specificity, its
                  impact in terms of innovation and public information available (events, publications, etc.);
             o 3 questions to the artist: asked the artist at the beginning of the residency
             o The residency final public report produced by the artist at the end of the residency
    •   a presentation of the selected Tech Projects, not only the ones involved in the implemented
        residencies, but also the ones that published their offer to host a residency without an actual
        implementation as part of STARTS Residencies. These texts were produced following the same
        template by all the Tech Projects to be included in the list of available Tech Projects for the
        artistic calls. They include an abstract, a summary of their main challenges, what they expect from
        the artists and which resources they foresee to bring them. It should be noted that their situation
        may have evolved from these initial statements and the moment when they hosted a residency.

                                      tion between creative industries, entrepreneurs, researchers and arts

    •   a presentations of the available Producers: similarly to Tech Projects, texts of presentation of
        organisations that advertised their availability for co-applying with an artist for an artistic
        residency.

2.3. Dataset access
At the production date of the current deliverable, the dataset is published on the Zenodo long-term data
repository managed by the CERN, and connected to the OpenAIRE scientific database of the European
Commission. This choice gives the best conditions of long-term preservation and referencing concerning
the VERTIGO project.
The URI of the repository is: https://zenodo.org/record/3843435
Additional deposits in other reference open data repositories may be considered in the future.

Section 3 – Licensing conditions
3.1. Specification
IRCAM, as owner of the vertigo.starts.eu website from which all the data are extracted, holds the copy-
right on these data, and the purpose of this license is to extend their right of use upon certain conditions.
Instead of writing a dedicated license, we opted for the use of an existing one, provided that :

    •   It is a well-established license adapted specifying to the use of copyrighted content;
    •   It is valid internationally, i.e. compatible with national laws of many if not all countries;
    •   The publication of part or all of the texts must indicate that they refer to the VERTIGO STARTS
        Residencies Program: it is mandatory since it its participants – Artists, Tech Projects, Producers,
        Consortium Members - allowed to publish related information only related to the context of
        VERTIGO-STARTS Residencies, especially with the mention of their names and the actions
        they were involved in.
The choice of the international version of Creative Commons (CC) license matches all these criteria and
its choice appeared obvious as the main international reference compatible with national laws on copy-
right issues.
Among the 6 available CC licenses, the following options were selected :

    •   Attribution : it is an integral part of all CC options, enabling right of use to third parties;
    •   Non commercial: STARTS Residencies is a program funded by public European funds and the
        primary purpose of use of the documents shall not be commercial : the main targeted use is for
        knowledge production and its as wide as possible dissemination.
    •   No derivatives : none of the texts either produced by the residencies stakeholders themselves,
        presenting their project or institution, or by the consortium members, presenting the residencies
        and their results, should not be altered in any way. These texts are given to be quoted in their
        original form.
