Information exchange, use, and dissemination: Issues and concerns

ABSTRACT The gathering and dissemination of biological and cultural information are fundamental to sustainable development, and yet differences in approaches to procuring such information and knowledge and sharing them appear to be enlarging in a changing world of privatizing information and knowledge. Negotiations taking place under the World Trade Organization (W.T.O.) Council on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (T.R.I.P.s) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (C.B.D.) are revolving around mechanisms and policies to minimize differences between procurement and sharing and also on equitable sharing of benefits arising out of such use. The author proposes that developing a “Code of Ethics and Equity” would greatly enhance the platform from which countries operate concerning sourcing of information and knowledge. A system-wide code of ethics could then be converted into specific operational guidelines at the level of individual, institution, or activity
