My team and I are thinking of approaching a Bolivian community we have collaborated with in the past about potentially building SLT tools and/or a dataset with them. One of our research projects requires the creation of a TTS system, so we think it would be important to couch this research goal within a collaborative research project that takes into account the communities' own goals and needs.
This is the first time I do anything like this, and I'm sorry if my question is very naïve: Do you have materials you'd recommend for us to read, such as:
information often provided to aboriginal communities about this kind of effort
information about how other communities have set up a payment scheme
information about variable terms in licensing; eg if the community does not want commercial reuse, is that ok by the LDC? any other restrictions communities often ask for? any other rights, such as royalties in case of commercialization, or free access to the software?
Please reply to me alone. I'll compile all replies and share back the full list of resources with the mailing list.
Thank you in advance,
Alex
