(b) Disseminate the dataset with open access under the usage licence conditions in such a way that the material may be distributed, copied and displayed.

(c) Store, copy and modify or adapt the datasets without changing the contents thereof, in order to preserve the datasets so that they remain available into the future as well as for enrichment metadata reasons.

(d) Release the repository from all liability as to the contents of the datasets, which remain the exclusive responsibility of the author, and to protect from any improper use of the data by users in violation of the current laws in force.

(e) Remove the dataset, after notifying the author, in any justified cases, or in the event of a third-party claim.

(f) Change the file formats and add/modify metadatos, if this becomes necessary for the purposes of preserving and enrichment the data.
