OpenAtlas

We will add a more standard way to add information about file attribution.
Beside other considerations one aim is to provide a way to easily maintain information to decided which files are available for public sharing.

This is a longer ongoing discussion but latest variant is that files are only shared with the public (e.g. presentation sites or archiving) if:

• A license is set
• The public flag is set

In the end it is the responsibility of the project leads to decide when all requirements are full filled to set a file for public sharing.
E.g. a CC-BY 4.0 license would require that the creator is named/acknowledged.

Additional fields will be:

• Public (to indicate if this file is meant and/or allowed for public sharing)
• Creator (of the file)
• License holder (of the file license)

This information will be saved in an extra table (file_info) in the model schema.
